Summary: Anna was the smallest puppy in her litter, but also the bravest. When she was just 3 weeks old she was already wondering outside of the doghouse just to see what all was going on while her brothers and sisters stayed in the dog house. As her owner Pam started to go on a trip, she decided to take Anna. Pam, the owner, would come across other travelers and they would always tell her Anna was too weak and wouldn't last, but Anna lasted the whole way. Anna also became the leader of the pack and led the other dogs and Pam back home.
Response: I really enjoyed reading this book. I also loved that the book was based on a true story. I love anything based on true stories, I feel like the book has more meaning to it. This book made me want to have a dog up here in Boone to play with. I think children would love this book because of the determination the dog had and the fact that it involves animals. When I was young I loved reading books like this. I think young children today would still enjoy this book. This book would be a great read aloud to keep students paying attention and wondering what is going to happen next.
