What so you do when a dog you suspect is being mistreated runs away and comes to you? When it is someone else's dog? When the man who owns him had a gun? This is Marty's problem, and he finds it is one he has to face alone. When his solution gets too big for him to handle, things become more frightening still. Marty puts his courage on the line, and discovers in the process that it is not always easy to separate right from wrong. Sometimes, however, you do almost anything to save a dog. This is a wonderful chapter book to read to children or have them start reading. This is just enough challenge for children who need more experience with chapter books. Such a wonderful, easy read!
