A Dog's Life

Touching and warm

This story of a dog's journey from puppyhood to old age tugs at the heart of tender listeners. Parts of it were a bit too sad for my 10-year-old son who is an avid dog lover. That said, the tale is well-told and doesn't shy from the difficulties of life as a stray. My son, despite having sobbed when Squirrel recounts the loss of her mother and brother, daily asked to listen to the story until he was able to finish it one rainy Saturday afternoon.

A bit serious, the book is still a good choice for anyone who loves animals and who wants to encourage their children to see the world through the sees of the noble dog.

For tweens through adults

Would you consider the audio edition of A Dog's Life to be better than the print version?

no

What other book might you compare A Dog's Life to and why?

none

What about Wendy Dillon’s performance did you like?

her voice was pleasing and she added depth to the characters

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no, but I had already read the print edition

Any additional comments?

I read the print edition first to determine if this was suitable for my class of 4th and 5th graders. The students enjoyed the book, with it receiving 5 stars from almost every reader, except from one young boy who wanted more action and adventure and less emotion. ;)

Where does A Dog's Life rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I put this at the top so far. I am new at listening to audiobooks.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Dog's Life?

The most memorable....there were several, but I think when Squirrel aka Aidi starts to trust another person and her life really changes.

Which scene was your favorite?

Again I think there were many as I felt lilke I was on the journey too. Many different emotions are experienced inthis book!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have loved to. I am hoping to sit and do just that one evening.

Any additional comments?

I think this is a must listen to for anyone who is an animal lover. It gave me a new perspective on what animals may be thinking. It brought back memories of me and one of my beloved dogs. On another note it reminded me of how cruel people cam be when it comes to animals.....some set jpoor examples,yet children listening with parents could learn alot from this story.
