My four eldest (George, Lucinda, Ralf and Margaret) love all animals. They own everyone of her books. We own 3 dogs and we love them. I think this is a great book. George used to be shy, but when he read this book he found courage of the dog packs. He now is a soccer player, the quarterback of the football team, member of the swim team, and president of the student council, and on Honor Roll. I'm grateful to this book because it helped my son gain courage! GO MIGHTY BADGERS! :)
