I loved this book! It's a feel-good, well-connected story about a girl who lives in a wealthy neighborhood near the beach in California. Her parents are both in the news business, and that often takes them away from home. They bought her a little border collie that she named Danny to fill her hours when she was along. Not only is it a dog story deluxe, but it also delves into family dynamics among the upper socioeconomic echelons, and it has a strong subplot about the plight of abandoned animals...more
This book is an awesome choice for people who really love animals and want to help them. I'm not going to give a lot away because I really want you to read it, but basically it's about a girl who loses her dog Danny and then realizes with some help of two very good freinds that she could help other dogs with no homes. It's a really great book, I hope you can read it. I've read it like, a million times without getting tired of it myself:)

All Bree wanted was to find Danny. Instead she found the world of animal shelters. Maybe she could find homes for all the red-listed dogs.
Reasons why I like this book-
Reason 1- There are dogs in the story.
Reason 2- It educates people about what happens in animal shelters.
Reason 3- I couldn't stop reading.

I read this book to my dog and we both absolutely loved it!!!!!!!!! I felt a lot of feeling when she ran after the dog that she thought was Danny, but it was really someone else's. My dog snuggled up extra close to me when the girl and her dog were reunited.
Bree's parents are busy with their careers, so they buy her a dog to keep her company. When he runs away, 12-year-old Bree's search brings her to a new group of animal-rescue friends. Girls who love animals will love this book and its unlikely happy ending.
So this book was super good. It doesn't have a sad ending like most dog books do so I recommend it to people who like dogs but not with sad endings!

What a wonderful, sad, uplifting story. Bree's journey to find her missing dog, Danny, leads her to her first love, a new friend, and adoption of lots of dogs!
This a good book for people whoa re in the mood for a heart touching story about a girl who loses her dog and meets new friends along the way
I thought it was a really good book and that I can happen to anyone so it really tells you what to do when something like this happens.
A cute dog, a girl with lots of creativity and a quirky new friend who connects her with a dog shelter--whats not to love?
I thought it was a good book. Although there were some parts that weren't that interesting. Overall it's pretty good.
While looking for her dog Danny, Bree learns to except change and discovers the importance of helping others.
Wonderfull a tale of true love to mans best friend! I give it 5 paws up!
I love this book! It's kind of sad though
So loving and caring.
