The puppy of an abandoned dog is the only one from her litter of three to survive a fire. After her mother is shot, Scruffy goes from living with an old, homeless man to living with other wild dogs in a car dump. When Scruffy is picked up by the animal shelter, she faces the possibility of euthanasia....

I honestly don't remember, it has been so long. But I remember that it was a very good book.

There were points that were so sad, I cried and cried and cried.

Cry. Noticing a common theme here?

Happy, sad...and I read it not very long after my dog had passed away, which really triggered my emotions.

It's one of those things everyone should read; up there with "All Quiet on the Western Front."

It may not be suitable for highly sensitive children (or adults).

Please have your animals spayed or neutered, and don't forget to consider your local animal shelter when looking to adopt pets.
