Claire Carr, longtime writer of Newfoundland topics and Newfie owner, has written a book based on the disappearance and eventual return of two of her dogs. This is not your standard "noble Newfie" book from the perspective of humans. Rather, the book is written largely from the point of view of the two dogs and their adventures in the wild. Carr is an excellent observer of both nature and her dogs and the detailed text reflects this acuity. Her sketches of the dogs and other wildlife pepper the book and are overall very good. My only criticism of this work is that is rather long and I found several typographical errors. I think it would have great appeal for anyone interested in dog behavior or Southwestern nature.

This is a delightful journey of two Newfoundlands. If you love this breed, or just dogs in general, you'll love this story. There aren't too many surprises, but you'll laugh and cry through this story. The illustrations are wonderfully simple, and Claire Carr has captured the spirit of the dog we Newfoundland owners so love.
