Smart Dog by Vivian Vande Velde


Amy happens upon a dog who can talk. He is trying to escape the college that he tells her has used him as an experiment. Amy tries to help him.

A talking Dog? The book makes it seem quite logical that this could happen in real life. The book feels very real.

The story is one of courage that Amy learns and of friendship. This is a very sweet book.
