Customer Reviews

Great Book!

I have read this book over and over at least a dozen times! It was just wonderful! A dog and his people. From the very beginning when "Speck" came to them, to the very end, it was funny, sad, happy, exciting...so many words to say. If you are looking for a book about a dog and the family that took him in you will love this true story!
