Summary: Avi Does it Again!
Comment: I have read several of Avi's books. I must say I have yet to be disappointed. Nearly every one of his stories is written in a different style. Avi does not get type-cast or pigeon-holed... he finds a way to stay fresh and creative in every book he writes. I can't help but be blown away by his originality. Well, enough gushing about the author.
Avi takes a page from Jack London in this story. It is a take on the classics like, Call of the Wild and White Fang. McKinley is a loyal, smart, loving, caring dog. He is devoted to his family, and takes great pride in caring for his human pup. He is loyal to his human family and watches over them carefully.
But, McKinley is also the leader of a community of dogs. So he spends time rounding up the dogs in town and caring for them. One of his dog compatriots says he cares too much for other dogs. And that appears to be true.
When McKinley goes to help a dog named Duchess who has run away
from her abusive master, he meets up with a wolf. His life is forever changed from this point on. McKinley must decide if he will be loyal to his human family or break away and head into the wild with the wolf pack... Interesting stuff. Avi does a wonderful job of getting into the head of the McKinley. He gives us some insight into what he sees as the thought process of a dog.
The ending is dramatic and ties together nicely. McKinley gives an amazing statement on what he sees as a dogs relationship to humans. The care relationships dog's have to humanity is expertly rendered by Avi.
I couldn't put this book down and devoured it in a couple of days. The pace is fast and carries the reader along. I hope you read it... you will not be disappointed! :-)

Summary: The Best Book
Comment: I like this book because it has lots of details and it's from the dog's point of view. It is about a dog named McKinley and a wolf. McKinley is the head dog of the pack in Steamboat Springs. He has to pick whether to stay with his human pup Jack, or to go out with the wolf Lupin. He also has to deal with the lost dog Duchess.
I highly recommend you to get this book. You won't be sorry once you have read it!!!

Summary: The Good Dog
Comment: The Good Dog is fiction. There are lots of characters in this book, but the main ones are McKinley, the dog; Jack, McKinley's owner; and Redburn, Duchess' owner.
Redburn is trying to catch Duchess, she has ran away. He wants Jack and McKinley to try to find her. Redburn says that if McKinley hurts Duchess that Jack's parents are going to hear about it.
If you don't like adventures don't read this book. If you like adventures read this book. The Good Dog has lots of adventures that McKinley goes through.
