Dog Lost Review

Dog Lost by Ingrid Lee

Review by Mrs. Szymczak

I find that I tend to like cute, little, cuddly dogs rather than big, strong dogs. I have a distrust of them, especially pit bull terriers. But this story is about just such a dog, his boy, a bad home life, and a surprising series of events. Cash is given to eleven-year-old Mackenzie who loves and cares for him. Then one night, Cash crashes into Mackenzie’s Dad coming through the door. The pizza he’s carrying slips out of the box and splatters on the floor. His Dad is so angry that he throws Cash in the trunk of his car and drives off to dump the dog out on the streets. The rest of the story tells how Cash survives on his own and eventually becomes a hero. A pit bull hero? Read it and find out how this miracle happens.

You can find this book in the children's room.
