Kate’s 2¢: “One Good Dog” by Susan Wilson

“One Good Dog” by Susan Wilson

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   Rick Adamson and Fred Berman have done a fabulous job portraying the man and the dog in alternating voices in this dramatic and poignant story of how the mighty fall, yet can redeem themselves.

   As a guide dog handler, I deplore the sick practice of baiting dogs to fight. It is a despicable blood “sport”

, mean and cruel.
