I thought this book was really interesting and really brings awareness to homelessness and struggles. I really love how the book is written in the perspective of the dog and Pickles is really positive. I wonder what the book would be like from the perspective of Elsie or Dad...

I love football and this was a good adventure book. It was a bit sad sometimes. I think they should have won a prize at the end.
