Flawed Dogs

Lets face it, we almost always stay away from stories about dogs, we don't want to get depressed over a dog getting hurt or passing away, but the book Flawed Dogs is a great suspenseful story. Flawed Dogs was written by Berkeley Breathed and its copyright date is in 2009. The book is about a dachshund named Sam who is best friends with a 14 year old girl named Heidy McCloud. Sam gets fooled by the antagonist, a poodle named Cassius, and he gets thrown out of the home where Heidy lived. Sam now has to find his way back into Heidys arms. The theme of the book is to never lose hope, and the category is under fiction.

The book is told in third person by the author, Berkeley Breathed. At the beginning of the book there is a suspenseful fight scene where Sam gets beaten down. After the fight scene Sam gets put up for adoption, Sam is worth $180,000 because he is a special breed of dachshund. He gets adopted by a large woman who is very… odd, Heidy is at the airport and is about to go and live with her uncle. Heidy notices Sam and saves him from the odd woman. She takes Sam to her uncles house. Living there is Cassius the devious poodle.  Cassius fooled Sam and Sam gets kicked out of the house. Sam then, ran into some other dogs who are also peopleless. All of the dogs Sam met, and Sam create a way to help Sam win Hiedy back, they are going to raid the Westminister Dogs Show. At the dog show Sam sees Hiedy with Cassius. The dogs and Sam try to make Cassius pay for what he did to Sam, and they also try to get Heidy to love Sam again. The author gives hints to what the ending of the book will be like throughout the book.

This book made me feel depressed, heart warmed, and happy all at the same time. I thought that the book was great. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time while reading it. The book was very interesting, my favorite part was when Sam found Hiedy and became her companion again. I would recommend this book to people who think books are boring… because this book is NOT boring and it might change their point of view.
