Maxx asked Tom Rogers:

Hi Mr. Rodgers I am from Mr. Williams class and I was wondering is there a coincidence when Alex's name was A- Dawg and he wants a dog for his birthday? Thank you

Tom Rogers Hi Maxx! It would be a pretty amazing coincidence, wouldn't it? Here's a thing to know about writers: we think long and hard about names, because a name can tell you so much about a character. When a character's name seems to have extra meaning, you can be sure the author did that intentionally. So yes, I had Alex use the call sign "A-Dawg" because he loves dogs. Thanks for a great question! ~Mr. Rogers
