Ellie's Story: A Dog's Purpose Novel

207 pp. | Tor/Starscape | April, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7653-7469-1 $16.99 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4668-4299-1
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Richard Cowdrey. German shepherd Ellie tells how she is trained from puppyhood to be a search-and-rescue dog. Her thoughts include concern for her trainers' happiness and observations about the uselessness of cats. There's suspense and action, and the human-dog interactions are heartwarming; occasional black-and-white illustrations are dark and poorly proportioned. Back matter includes search-and-rescue dog facts and a reading and activity guide. Reading list, websites.
