 A wonderful story for dog lovers of ALL ages. July 27, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is one of the best books of all times. Anyone who has had a pet that was very special will relate to this story in a very touching and personal way. Farley Mowat is a great Author.

This is one of the funniest books that I have ever read. Mutt, the dog, comes to the family in a basket filled with ducks. The father in the story wants an expensive pure bred dog for hunting. However, mother circumvents this by plucking out the dog, paying one cent, and saving lots of money. There are plenty of misadventures in the story, from mutt retrieving a stuffed pheasent in the city (after father pointed his shotgun and said bang), to climbing a ladder into the eccentric womans house filled with 50 cats. There was the encounter with the skunk (in the basement of the house) and the time father accidentally used bluing to clean the dog. The part about the owls is funny and interesting as well. Needless to say, Mutt has many adventures, all of them hilarious I have read this book many times.

This book had me laughing out loud time after time. I've been buying and lending this book to people for years. The tales of this remarkable dog and the Mowat family are entertaining, hilarious, and eventually touching.

I remember first reading this book when I was about ten and have never forgotten the story even though I am now fifty. Amazon may say the book is for children but in reality this book is for all people all ages who know the true magic of devotion from an animal-be it dog, horse, cat, etc. This book is going to lift your spirits.
