Product Description: Gary Paulsen has owned dozens of unforgettable and amazing dogs, and here are his favorites--one to a chapter. Among them are Snowball, the puppy he owned as a boy in the Philippines; Ike, his mysterious hunting companion; Electric Fred and his best friend, Pig; Dirk, the grim protector; and Josh, one of the remarkable border collies working on Paulsen's ranch today.
My Life in Dog Years is a book for every dog lover and every Paulsen fan--a perfect combination that shows vividly the joy and wisdom that come from growing up with man's best friend.
A book to read again and again I'm a teacher and I do enjoy children's literature. Books that draw me to read them again and again are a special joy, and this one is tops! Paulsen shares special stories of dogs he has known since childhood. Each story can be read independently, but there are several surprises that link dogs and stories through different periods of his life. This book made me understand and believe the incredible powers of 'man's best friend.'
I loved each & every one of these dogs stories This was a very unique book. I enjoyed every chapter, as I learned about each new dog that passed through Gary Paulsen's life. All of them true stories, of course. I do like the author's writing style very much, and it's amazing how descriptive the book is.
I'd pick it up and read it again! I loved each & every one of these dogs stories.
Great read Owning Sibs and other breeds over the years I laughed till I had tears reading about Caesar. What a great read. Not that I recommend it for the bathroom reading but that is the only place my hubby will read. I walked past the door one day and he was laughing hysterically. I just knocked on the dog and asked "Caesar?" He replied "Lived that one before!" After having lived with so many characters over the years it is easy to see that they really are true stories. If you have a dog lover in your life this should be in their stocking. -S Redwood Siberians
Great Book arrived promptly and in the condition as advtised, actually it was better than I expected.
Dog Stories A good book for people of all ages who love dogs. Although, like many of Gary Paulsen's books it is geared toward teens, this is a quick read for anyone. Laughs and tears throughout!
