Dog Diaries is a cute collection about dogs from all around the world who have assembled at the WOOF Society. This book is great for all those dog lovers out there, and for those who don't know much about dogs too! I would recommend this book to readers who are just getting started with chapter books!

When many different kind of dogs get together to tell stories about their problems. You will have very fun time reading the book. I would recommend this book to upper elementary aged kids.
All the dogs come to a gathering and they all tell stories about dogs that have interesting lives.
This book is good for people who like dogs.
One of my favorite stories in it is about a dog who stops a robber.
