chellina - I really like this book, I also really like the character. William was never give up of Riley, and I think that is something that I have to learn even he is only 11 years old. And I also felt like that situation is kind of my situation too in long time ago. I also had one dog called Ally, and I lost him. And in this book, there is dog named Riley, and Riley couldn't be together with William with some trouble. When I lost my dog, I felt really really sad, and I still miss him so much, so I could feel what William felt in this book. I also didn’t thought that Riley really did that, so I hoped that Riley could get out from false charge.

Bunting's straightforward story about a boy living in Oregon who learns to accept the loss of loved ones, including his dog, is heartwarming despite some heavy touches. William, 11, has had a rough time with his parents' divorce, his father's absence and his grandfather's recent death. Adopting a dog from the pound helps "close up the empty places inside." But when the dog, Riley, mysteriously begins to chase his neighbor's racehorse, his neighbor calls animal control and Riley is taken away to be destroyed. With the help of his best friend Grace, William makes flyers, write e-mails and composes a letter to the newspaper to convince the commissioner that his dog is worth saving. Pretty soon the whole community is taking sides. A few of the characters' quirks feel contrived, such as Grace's sophisticated vocabulary, and the big hole in front of the house where William and his grandfather had been building a fishpond is an obvious symbol. Overall, though, the tender moments between mother and son, coupled with equally gentle interactions between William and Riley carry the story. Ages 8-12.
