LOVED this book series growing up, and especially the chapter books about Neil's border collie Sam, followed by Sam's son Jake. I loved this book in particular so much that I named my border collie "Delilah" I think this series was great because it was honest. Didn't make every dog a hero, some were ill behaved, or outright trained to be bad dogs. Also covered losing a pet and what that felt like for Neil. Look forward to reading these books to my children in the future.

It was upsetting in the middle but im glad sam is better even if he will forever have to be careful now, the ghost dog aspect seemed to be a good plot point up till the middle than seemed forgotten till the very end.

At 25 I'm definitely not to old to enjoy a story about a boy and his dog. Neil is basically living my dream life as his parents own kennels and rescue dogs. I used to want a dog more than anything when I was little. I'm not overly keen on them now though, the whole walks and poop scooping is not my thing. Plus everyone knows cats are a million times better. And I have a cat and he's amazing. Saying that, I would still jump at a chance to work with animals. Anyways a new dog moves next door and Sam takes a liking to her, a little to much of a liking to her and she ends up pregnant. Sam then falls ill and it turns out he has a heart problem and Neil is really worried and upset. Which made me really worried and upset - more so because my cat has been ill recently. However with the right care Sam will live a lot longer and it has a nice ending. There is also a rather good side story about a ghost dog. A book for animal lovers, young or old.
