This is a good book. I was torn between two and three stars, but the two star attributes are things I can see past. The book was written in the early '80s and takes place in the '50s. Thus, the subtle sexism and Beaver Cleaver vibe make sense. The family is also fanatical about this dog, but then again, he's a purebred they paid money for and they're a well off family living in California. Taylor's descriptions of the dog and a few lines of wisdom are priceless and make this a great read fo

This is an older book and the cover is really out-dated, but it was great!! I'm not sure if I could even find a copy of the book- I read it as an e-book from the library. It's worth finding it, especially if you are an animal lover! Tuck, the adorable dog on the cover, ends up going blind. This is the story of how the dog's family (his owners) deal with it.

This was my FAVORITE book when I was young. I must've read it a hundred times, and I still have my original copy. It's about a girl and her dog, and their love for one another. I flipped through it recently, and it's not written in simple "kid's language". Adult dog lovers will be sure to love it, too!!

This book was hard to get in to, but once I started it, I really enjoyed it. What I like best about this book is that one girl halps her dog to "see" by giving him a seeing eye dog. It's a very sad book, although it has its funny moments.

My favorite book since I was eight. This is the true story about an awkward girl and her big yellow dog. Helen fights to save Tuck from a life on a chain after he goes blind, and finds a remarkable way to save him---a seeing eye dog.

This was a cute book that I read in a single evening. It is about a dog that triumphs against the losing of its sight, a great animal novel, despite it being fairly short.

Oh man, did I love this book when I was a kid! Again, another one my 5th-grade teacher introduced me to. Heart-breaking for an animal lover...

Unnecessarily sad. It makes me wonder: is it more valuable to triumph over tough odds, or is it better not to have anything to triumph over?
