Review:
The book was good I think I liked it. It had a lot of action and it was intense at some points. I wanted to read it completely in one sitting. I would tell others to read it because if they like adventure and dogs and stories with all emotions in it they would like it.

Quote:
"the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast." Because it shows the importance of being the big dog and not being afraid of anything and being thought to survive.
