He's a dog, so I love him.

Lizzie is in elementary school. Her family, the Petersons, have a puppy named Buddy plus they foster dogs and help them find homes.
Lizzie is going away for a winter getaway with her friend, Maria, and Maria's parents. Along the way, the car lands in a snowy ditch and Zipper, a Eurohound puppy, finds them. Zipper is Dillon's dog ... Dillon is a skijorer and was out training when Zipper got away from him. He asks them if they will take care of Zipper for a couple days while he trains for his upcoming race (they are staying at his uncle and aunt's cabin). Of course, Lizzie says yes. Unfortunately Zipper will never be a skijoring dog because he just too curious so Dillon must find a home for him.
Though this book is a quick read and directed at elementary-aged children, I found it entertaining. There is a learning experience and a puppy tip at the end. It is written in third person perspective and first person from Zipper's point of view. It is the thirty-fourth in the Puppy Place series, which currently has 66 books in the series, and works as a stand alone.

I'm glad Ellen Miles decided to write a book about her dog.
It's a pretty good story,I'm surprised that Lizzie didn't know what a eurohound is.I mean,she knows SO much about dogs.I'm sad Lizzie hurt her wrist,it would of been cool to hear about lizzie being on a snowboard. great book. Hats off to Ellen!

I think my young students will particularly like this one because of the snowboarding.
