In A Dog's Life, an older stray
dog tells all her life's adventures.
She and her brother were born in a
wheelbarrow in a garden shed. Since the
shed had been abandoned by people, it
made a great hideaway for a fox, some
cats, some mice, and all of their
babies. Life was sweet and simple --
until the day when her mom didn't come
back to the shed. Then things got
complicated -- and scary -- very fast.
A realistic and bittersweet story about
a stray
dog's life by Newbery author, Ann
Martin.

This is a very good book. I'm not a huge dog person, and I love it. It is very realistic, and it helped me realize what situations strays get into, and how they feel about it.

It's a really sad book, but it is also really good, and unfortanately, it's what most stray dogs face. If you want, you don't have to read it, but I strongly recomend that you do!
