 * //Review//**

I truly thought this was a great book. I have often heard people talk about it and was excited to finally get the chance to read it. I know that it is known as a classic, and I sometimes don't really like books that are considered to be classics. I picked this book up, started reading, and didn't stop until I was finished with the entire book three hours later. The story took me into the mind of the animal. People often look at dogs as being something for their entertainment. Dogs are tied up, taught to do tricks, and asked to do many jobs for people. But what some don't realize is that dogs have their own feelings. Although most dogs have been domesticated today, they were once wild animals that were allowed to live freely. This story truly shows the reader that dogs should be appreciated for the great animals that they are. After having read this book I have a new respect for all dogs and will never look at them the same way again.
