Reviews
I like the dog. I liked it because I’ve got a dog and it was interesting. It was sad in parts of it but then it got happier again. I would probably recommend it to friends because it’s really good.

This book was great because it was exciting. I think Rascal is a very clever dog.

I did not like it as much as the others because it was not really exiting in the same way as the books that I read before. I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone else because I do not think anyone else would like it.

Rascal is trying to find his way home but a man thinks he is a wild dog and chasing his sheep! Rascal helps rescue Jenny who falls onto the railway tracks. He likes Jenny but he really cannot stay with her as he needs to get home to his owner Joel. This is a great book.
