Dog Diaries (Dog Diaries Book Series)

Product Information

Thanks Kidlit Exchange and Little Brown for the ARC, which I received in exchange for an honest review.

It's not too hard to figure out what Junior is talking about and if you are confused, there is a "How to speak Doglish" glossary page at the back of the book. The fast-paced-story is hilarious as Junior makes wonderful observations at the strange things that the humans around him do and Butler has included a plethora of pooch puns and doggie jokes.

Appalled by Junior's behavior and Rafe's inability to control him, Iona Stricker threatens to report Junior to the police and have him taken away if Rafe doesn't enroll him in Dog Obedience Training immediately. This cute little pup shows her what unconditional love looks like, and Dana does her best to look after her new pal, too. This is an accomplishment he has definitely achieved as I know my reluctant readers won't be able to put down "Dog Diaries" and will be wanting to read more of these books!

Strong messages about friendship, loyalty, hard work and practice to learn new things, and learning from your mistakes -- though young readers may learn more from Junior's mistakes than he does sometimes. Here's MIDDLE SCHOOL for young readers--through the eyes of Rafe Khatchadorian's misbehaving mutt, Junior!The first dog that got trained at Seeing Eye guide dog school for blind people (that is ran by Dorothy Eustis), a German shepherd reflects on everything that has happened in her life. As I listened to this book as an Audio-book it occurred to me that I may be missing some of the humor.

There’s no choice but to put Cinders—a rescue horse with an attitude—to work at her very first fire, one destined to become one of the greatest disasters of the nineteenth century! Few have ever heard of, however, of Togo (a twelve year old dog) and musher of Togo’s team Leonard Seppala.The story has a fast pace, and is well told; it also teaches kids an important lesson to be responsible when owning pets. George Washington’s transformation from farmer to Father of Our Country—as told by his dog Sweetlips!

Fans of the novel found this to be a fun read that will make readers get emotional (but there are some happy scenes in the book). A German shepherd—the first dog trained at the famous Seeing Eye guide-dog school for the blind—looks back at her life.Focusing on a different breed for each book, starting with a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd, these stories are based on true dog stories or on true-to-life situations.
