My favorite part is the end. Her sentence fluency was amazing. In the journey there is much excitement and tragedy. I loved how she wrote it. this book is also great for any animal lover. The story begins on the side of the road with a pregnant cat being abandoned.The cat wanders in the forest until she found a house with an old abused dog named ,Ranger.

Either way, I eventually will read it with my son and then we will go out and try to rescue yet another dog that is kept chained, tied, or small penned. Probably more likely 12 than 8; but who knows. This book completely shows that. For more info about the cruelties and dangers of keeping a dog chained, tied, or small penned, go to [.]. Will I read this to my son when he is 8, 10 or 12. Being a stay-at-home mom to a lively 28-month-old, I don't have time to brush my teeth, much less read a book.
One such animal cause is Dogs Deserve Better, in which we try to get people to understand that dogs do deserve better than life on a chain or in a pen. Kids are a lot more resilient and understanding of things than I think we give them credit for sometimes. But when I saw this book at the library, I just had to get it. Not sure. Thank you, Kathi Appelt, for this wonderfully beautiful, and yes sad, book. I am not only a mom, but also a volunteer with children's and animal causes.
Kathi Appelt has done a beautiful job of relaying love, evil, and finally freedom.

A calico cat hears this poor song and follows the song and finds a skinny old bloodhound chained to a house. I've read a lot of books, and this book is by far the best book I've ever read. And a mama calico cat and 2 baby kittens.
Nothing much happy occurs in the plot, just lots and lots of misery. Ranger, the calico cat and her two kittens, Sabine and Puck, are a happy little family, hiding from Gar Face, Ranger's neglectful, abusive owner. The stories intertwine to tell a haunting story about love, loss and betrayal. Deep under an old pine lies a creature, trapped in a clay jar for 1000 years, waiting for revenge.
he Underneath is a safe haven under a titled house in the bayou on the Texas/Louisiana border where Ranger, an old abused hound dog lies waiting for his owner to throw him some scraps of food. The subplots are confusing until they come together in the end and I found the book kind of boring and unmemorable. This is a dark book, probably not suited for young children.
