Praise for this book

"An exceptional dog story--with a happy ending--whose length and pencil illustrations, one per chapter, make it attractive to young readers." --School Library Journal, Starred Review

"The plot is familiar . . . Hesse, however, makes the story seem fresh." --Publishers Weekly

"With a fresh narrative voice, thoughtfully developed characters, and its surefire Lassie Come-Home ending, a fine early chapter book." --Kirkus Reviews
