I haven’t read this since I was a kid. Having some yardwork to do this afternoon, I threw on the audiobook read by Jeff Daniels.
It’s a perfect little thing, this book. Imaginative, but never escaping what seems plausible in the behavior and motivations of working dogs. It says so much over so few pages about humanity and the connection of all living things to nature.
I do wonder if this is a common read amongst grade-schoolers. Violence and death weren’t taboo where I came up but so much has changed.
