Who I'd Recommend To: N/A

Synopsis: Jack has finally found a home and a purpose on a farm, where he keeps a flock of sheep safe from coyotes and helps train young pups to do the same. But when two sheep disappear in broad daylight, Jack doesn't know what happened to them. Was it his fault? Is he just getting too old for this job? Still, he's determined not to disappoint his boy, Luke, who thinks that Jack is the smartest and fastest dog around. Then Jack and Luke discover that the animal threatening their farm is far more dangerous than any coyote: it's a rabid wolf. Jack knows that he must gather the courage and strength to protect the ones he loves most―but can an old dog learn new tricks?

Thoughts: I didn't exactly love this book. I mean, it was good for people that don't love so much exciting books, but a book that you could just read if you just kind of want to lay down and watch a documentary - that sort of book. So, to make it straight, it WAS interesting, but if you're someone that likes a good, exciting book, I wouldn't recommend this book for you because it isn't so exciting due to the problems that occur in the story. The writing style was interesting from the given POV - a dog, Jack. But other than that, the writing was just similar to your normal ordinary writing (not that innovative or special). The characters didn't have that much emotion, besides maybe Jack, the dog and main character, but other than that they felt pretty dry. It's a relatively short read, but it felt longer to me because it was pretty "so so."
So, I didn't "love" this book, but it could've just been because it wasn't the type of book I'd ever want to read, now that I've fully experienced it and not just from the synopsis.
