If you love dogs or have a heart this will be just as heart wrenching for you as it was for me. Although it did almost bring me to tears the book itself was most exceptional. The writing style is unique, combing character's perspectives with news articles to make sure you get the whole story. I honestly think this is one of the best books out there for dog lovers and someone looking for a book with a lot of emotion in it. Jack and Logan are relatable and one can easily hypnotize with them and their troubles. Read this YEARS ago, but loved it. Can't remember all the details, but a boy who has a dog that I believe came from a wild litter manages to save him when all the city dogs are being destroyed. Turns out to be really important because his dog is one of the few remaining dogs that is resistant to the virus that is killing all the other dogs. no reviews | add a review

Fourteen-year-old Logan Moore has a troubled life. His mother is distant, his stepfather, Robert, is hyper-critical, he has no friends, and despite his best efforts, he can't seem to avoid trouble. Then an unwanted dog he names Jack (even though it's a female) comes into his life and things finally seem to turn around. Then a disease called POS begins afflicting dogs. Soon, Logan finds himself on the run with his dog, trying to keep her alive.
The writing is strong, in a voice that kids can relate to. The pace is quick and the characters are believable. The only fault in the story is that Robert's disdain for his stepson is never explained. Beyond that, this is a solid story that kids and adults will enjoy. ( )
