Dog's Life: The Autobiography of a Stray
Dog's Life: The Autobiography of a Stray | Ann M Martin
11 posts | 18 read | 4 to read
Newbery Honor author Ann Martin's "heartwrenching and heartwarming" (Kirkus) dog story, now in paperback, with After Words bonus material. Squirrel and her brother Bone begin their lives in a toolshed behind someone's summer house. Their mother nurtures them and teaches them the many skills they will need to survive as stray dogs. But when their mother is taken from them suddenly and too soon, the puppies are forced to make their own way in the world, facing humans both gentle and brutal, busy highways, other animals, and the changing seasons. When Bone and Squirrel become separated, Squirrel must fend for herself, and in the process makes two friends who in very different ways define her fate.

I rarely get a chance to photograph these two together because they are either playing or ignoring each other. 😂 This one is a keeper for sure. Just had to share... ❤️🐶🐶 #puppylove #dogmom #ramses #sabrina

My nephew got this book when he was 10 and when he finished reading it he asked me to read it too. It's such a wonderful book, although parts are sad. If you have a kid who wants a puppy, this is a great read to show them just what kind of dedication it takes to love a pet. 🐶💚

“I‘ve known dogs who were treated cruelly by human hands and dogs who were treated with the gentlest touch, dogs who starved and dogs who grew fat from too many treats.”

Great opening in A Dog‘s Life by Ann M. Martin.

How I aspire to be! 😂 I need to get on reading but still trying to defog my head from late(r) night - though I've been productive for a Sunday morn; 3 loads of laundry, some dusting, and reorganzing.
@llwheeler hope you are having a restful morn after games night-thanks for offering to drive/shelter us 😂😂

llwheeler No problem, and aww sleepy Ajax. You've been far more productive than me! 7y
Andrea4 Haha, I can't sit still most days. In a bit I'll be posting stuff at shoppers and then going to the lib to peruse the romance novels :) 7y

Went to buy the dog some food. I was gone 20 minutes. Guess he got tired of waiting and helped himself to second breakfast.
