I read this one with my son for school. (which led to us reading #2 The Pack) How does anyone leave an animal behind when you know a hurrican is coming? After I got over that fact, the story was great. It was a great lesson on overcoming adversity, loyalty, friendship and betrayal. My son enjoyed it as well.
This book is so fantastic! It is about a dog named Shep. He lives a happy life until one stormy day his family has to move without him because of an earthquake. He makes friends on the streets, and he has to fight wild dogs that are very aggressive. It is very sad at the end because one of the other dogs on his side dies while fighting.

This is a fun book to read. I liked thinking about a city full of dogs and cats dealing with a storm without their owners.
It was ok, but it really couldn't keep me hooked. An interesting idea though...
Is a great suspenseful book full if dogs forced to help each other survive
You really sympathize with Shep....can't wait for the next book!
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH! SOO AWSOME!

I can't wait to get the next book!
It's Icy Cool!
Gabriel was really into the suspense in this one and, he didn't mention, but for him it was a tear-jerker.
