5.0 out of 5 stars A great book the whole family will enjoy!, November 28, 1999

This review is from: Scrub Dog of Alaska (Walter Morey Adventure Library) (Paperback)

This is one of the greatest books I've ever read, and I'm sure you will enjoy it,too. It's about a poor mistreated dog named Scrub. This name was given to him by the whole town of Aurora because he was always scavenging the houses' garbage cans for food. Then a boy named David Martin comes along and rescues the dog. David is just about the only person Scrub learns to trust. This is a wonderful book that shows the great, unbreakable bond between dog and his master. It's so good you won't want to put it down. I love this book!

This review is from: Scrub Dog of Alaska (Walter Morey Adventure Library) (Paperback)

I read this book for the first time when I was 9. I couldn't put it down and read it through in one day! (needless to say, my mother could get nothing else done with me that day!). I reread it a few years later as a teen. This is one book from my childhood that has stuck in my mind, and I was ecstatic to find it is still available, as I want to order this book for my 12 yr old niece, who is now also into reading nature books, but esp stories of wolves and/or huskies.

Scrub Dog of Alaska
By: Walt Morey

This is a "Two-Thumbs Up" book, which is excellent for children, of all ages.
But mainly for those who have never experienced the thrill of dogsledding or owning sled dogs.
Both owner and companion, fighting for their survival, and for the hope of finding each other.
A dog, found wounded and close to death, only saved by the mere food given to him, Scrub, by Dave Martin, survived, after being attacked by his family pack.
Some how, the boy and this animal, find love in each other.
Both, having broken their leg, spent their time wasted, but when finding each other, they begin adventures, broken leg, or no broken leg.
Only one person can come in the way of this incredible friendship, Smiley Jackson, Scrub's previous owner, who "culled" him as a young puppy.
But Smiley Jackson is going to learn that it takes more then a hot-temper and a whip to keep these two friends apart!
The best book I have ever read
