Rating: 5 out of 5

What a lovely book. It was mentioned in some publication or others article on children’s books that adults really should read. So I did. And it was lovely. A story of adventure. A story of love. A story of finding a place where you belong.

Highlighted passages:

the smell of dog wasn’t thought to be right for the rich people who took the animals out.

a dog’s smell is as much a part of him as his bark or the way he holds his tail

mongrel and a cross-breed are not the same thing. A cross-breed is a mixture of two breeds only, and is considered quite respectable – like a labradoodle – but a mongrel can have six or more different strains of dog in him.

A dog who belongs to somebody forever is a dog who is free.
