(Fiction, Children's Chapter) This chapter book for older children and adults, that tells the tale of a homeless border collie (his sheep farm burned) looking for a home, and an orphan, will pull your heart-strings. It’s told from the point of view (mostly, as I remember) of the dog. A great story that I’d like to read to my grandchildren. There is a sequel called Wolf, which I’ve added to my reading list. 4 stars This book was about a dog who got taken a way from his family. He got treated very badly and like if he was bad. He found this guy who had goats and a trailor. This man took sheep and treated him with respect. they traveled the united states and bonded. One day the man got very sick and went to bed. Sheep waited for him to wake up but he did not. The old man had died. Sheep went on and lived his life leaving the goats and the old man. I gave this book a four star rating because it had a lot of details. She used very descriptive words. She had a very high vocabulary. She did not make it a bad book but a book that you would want to keep reading. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

To edge into the sadness of death, abuse, and animal cruelty, Jack meets Luke, an orphan, and becomes his dog. Luke's unable to read and very down in the dumps. Knowing how foster cares and adoption places are filled with abuse, this is even more saddening.
All in all, this is not a happy book, or one worth reading, really. There's a lot better dog books out there. This one drags and feels very old-fashioned in writing. Jack's life is saddening and it ends on the implication he'll be with Luke for life, but going off his track record of luck, that's unlikely. Jack also has dreams of his past owners which is sad, as some of them are abusive or dead.
A very somber book, worth passing up for another dog book. I took nothing away from this and couldn't really find a reason to like Jack, his personality is nonexistent as are most of the supporting cast's personalities. Very bland. ( )
