Book review by Jack the Russell

Jack is an avid reader.  Sometimes, he becomes exhausted from all of the reading, but after a brief nap, he's back at it.  He's already begun his summer reading.  His first book was A Dog's Purpose, by Bruce Cameron, which is not just another "dead dog" book.  Of course, he loved it.  One dog is followed through several lives with different owners.  In the end, our dog hero discovers his purpose with people .  This book would be appropriate for sixth, seventh or eigth grader readers who are dog lovers.  Beware, there are parts that are very emotional, but Jack felt it was well worth the tears!
