"Animal lovers will enjoy these eight short stories about shelter dogs going on to do great things...Kids will find the heroics appealing, but the book's greatest achievement may be its potential for increasing adoptions from shelters."--Booklist
"The writing is clear and straightforward, letting the drama and pathos of the dogs' triumphs, and the owners' dedication, carry the stories...These short stories should appeal to reluctant readers because of their length and irresistible subject matter, they will be popular with animal lovers, and they may even inspire families to adopt a shelter dog."--School Library Journal
