When Pip became Kala’s friend it made me very happy. They learned to work well as a team.

The book is about dogs wanting to help people and in Pips case having to give up chasing balls. Pip sounds like he's a very caring dog. Towards the end of the story Pip helped Kayla meet new friends and play basketball. Pip thought he'd failed but he ended up being Kayla' Assistance dog.

It was good because I love the main character and Pip was really good and it was nice to read. I liked Star the best because Star is a Border Collie and they are my favourite breed of dog. Well, one of my favourite breeds of dog. I would recommend this for people who love dogs especially assistant dogs.
