I was completely gripped by this book and read it over two days. When I began reading the book I wasn't convinced by the girl called dog, I just couldn't understand how someone could get away with keeping a girl in a pet shop but I had to remind myself that it was fiction. There are some very scary moments in the book, the black box in particular. The author takes us on Dog's journey to safety with some very scary and emotional events on the way. This is a real heart breaking book that stays with you long after you have read it.
I could picture the small but brave girl in the pet shop and loved it when she stood up to her uncle through Carlos the parrot. I was so relieved when she found the village in which she may have come from.
I really felt though that her journey was not over and hope that the story continues.
I gave it to a girl in my class to read and she read it over 2 days as well. She wrote 'I think the book is fantastic because Carlos can talk. I would recommend it to class 3 girls because it is a little bit scary and hard.'
