I liked this book because it was one of my favorite books as a child. I like it for various reasons, but I also dislike one aspect. This book has great characters, a family who fosters dogs, and of course the main star of all the books, the dogs! Each one has a story and this one's story is that he was not being treated well by his owner. The point of view is from the children, Lizzie and Charles, and sometimes the dogs! I dislike that there are no illustrations, I wish there were some for such a visual children's book. The main idea of this book is to have hope, even if it doesn't seem feasible. This puppy was being neglected by its owners, but the Peterson's, and the puppy had hope that they would find this dog a loving new home.
This book is about a boy and his friend who try to help a puppy they think isn't being treated right. This book talks about how to care for your animals in a narrative sense and ends well. This is a great transitional reading book for young readers. I would use this in a classroom library in a chapter books section.

This book, like many others in this series, is about a puppy finding a better home. This is an early chapter book, meaning it is for transitioning readers, such as 1st-3rd grade.
