A heartwarming story about a jaded pup who learns to trust again after numerous abandonments. I find this story to be particularly appealing to children who have been in the foster care system and are waiting for someone to love them as they are. This story also is a great book to bring awareness to the plight of the convenient pet that is often found in shelters. ( )

This was an exceptionally well writeen book and the choice of a shelter dog telling his own story of his long journey to a good home was done with great intelligence and attention to small details that really push the character of the dog forward. I don't feel like it was a story that pleaded sympathy for the dog as much as gave the reader something to think about after reading. ( )
