The dog Crusoe was once a pup. Now do not, courteous reader, toss your head contemptuously, and exclaim, "Of course he was; I could have told you that." You know very well that you have often seen a man above six feet high, broad and powerful as a lion, with a bronzed shaggy visage and the stern glance of an eagle, of whom you have said, or thought, or heard others say, "It is scarcely possible to believe that such a man was once a squalling baby." If you had seen our hero in all the strength and majesty of full-grown doghood, you would have experienced a vague sort of surprise had we told you-as we now repeat-that the dog Crusoe was once a pup-a soft, round, sprawling, squeaking pup, as fat as a tallow candle, and as blind as a bat.

An enjoyable read,
By Mountain Momma (Montana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dog Crusoe and His Master (Kindle Edition)
I think this would be a nice read for any dog lover. It takes place in America's early western days when Indians and white men were starting to sign peace treaties. This book is about a young man who loves the outdoors and joins up with two mountain men who have been asked to visit Indian tribes to 'smoke the peace pipe'. He has an incredible dog whose life he saved as a pup that makes this journey across the Rocky Mountains with him.I will say after the first 85 percent of the book I felt it became too unbelievable and I skimmed over a number of pages but I would still recommend it.
