so-soActually my favourite chapter was the one with the two owls (Mowat used those owls in his fictional kids‘ story, “Owls in the Family”). The book was more like short stories, but that‘s ok. Mutt was a character. A lot of people seem to consider this a children‘s book, but I didn‘t think it read that way. A boy and his dog, sure. I suppose that would appeal, but it didn‘t seem particularly written for kids. I‘m rating it good.

Breakfast reading with Cooper. He‘s my little shadow, this guy. The other dogs sometimes wander off to do their own things, but Coopy‘s never very far away. I think he especially likes reading time because it‘s prime snuggle time.
so-soI maybe made a mistake in listening to the audio. Maria herself read it, but she has a very monotone voice. I thought that I was still able to focus in the first half or so of the book, but I did miss things as the book continued, and I suspect I missed more earlier in the book than I originally thought
March #bookspin. This has been on my shelf for years. Finally time to give it and the author a try.

bailedI read the French translation of this book by Alain Roy. The content and structure of the book was fine, but the translation was heavy going and had weird notes (like specifying that « agent provocateur » was in French in an English source document). It took me five renewals to get not even halfway through, so back to the library it goes.
