Another wonderful Animal Ark book, this one really took me by surprise. For awhile I thought I wouldn't like it all that much, because at first it seemed to be more about the Christmas party-planning then about the sheepdog. But the more I read the more I got into it, and I really liked Tess (the sheepdog).... And then, when Mandy saw Tess attack those sheep, I admit I was ready to throw the book across the room. TESS, the sweet gentle sheepdog, really WAS the attacker?! No way!! But I made myself finish the book, and I'm very glad that I did. Finding out that Tess had actually been PROTECTING the sheep, from Major, was awesome!! For awhile there I actually thought it would show more be a sad ending, but that ended up surprising me as well. show less
