Gary Paulsen is smart, determined, energetic, and skillful. He is skilled at bird hunting. Gary is determined and always energetic. He is always outdoors and hoping to find adventure. He is smart enough to go by his instincts when it comes to dogs and other animals.It causes him to grow attached to dogs and learn things from them. This shows he is determined, smart, skillful at some things, and energetic.


I liked the book. I didn't like how the book didn't mention any bad experiences with dogs. I would have liked if it had tips on what to do if something ever happened.

        Gary Paulsen is adaptable, balanced, easygoing, brave, and lonely. I think they make him a strong. He changes a little bit but not in a characteristic way. The only way he changes is when he gets older, when he switches from dogs races to horseback riding, and when he changes from his understanding of dogs. I dislike the book because I found it very boring and I would rather hear stories of fiction, action, and my dogs. My favorite part was when Gary fell in the ice whole because filled with action. My least favorite parts was when he kept blabbering on about other things then the dogs. Or the chapter on Rex.

FINAL BLOG POST WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

C: Gary Paulson's traits are his ability to overcome his pets deaths. This makes him "STRONG".
E: After snowball died he later (in the next chapter) stopped mourning over snowball and got a new "friend".
R: This shows a great ability to overcome a friend's death.

C: Gary Paulson does not change throughout the book because the same thing happens with all of his dogs.
E: When Ike disapeerd and helped someone else he found a new "friend".
R: This again shows great ability to overcome a friend's death

I did NOT and I repeat NOT!!! Like my book because it was a lot about dying dogs (which I have experience with happening to SEVERAL dogs and a cat). and my favorite part of the book was when Ceaser woke up Gary by licking his face.

        The character I have is Gary. He is very weak and obsessed with dogs. The reason I said this is because all he does is hang out with his dog. An example of Gary hanging out with dogs is every page in the whole book. He doesn't really have any friends because he is antisocial. No he doesn't change throughout the book. He is obsessed with dogs and relies on them through the whole book. The only difference is his age.

        I disliked reading this book. It was very boring. I think this because the whole book was just about dogs. I didn't care for it. My favorite part of the book was when I was done with each chapter because that was less I had to go through that torture. No but my actual favorite part on of the book is when he introduced Josh because he was the most interesting dog to me. My least favorite part of the book is the very first chapter when Cookie saves Gary because the plot was just really confusing to me and I thought something cooler would happen.

My character Gary is a very sad little soul. He is super lonely and all that. I mean come on all he does is talk and hang out with dogs that is one sad person. It was like this since the very first freakin' page! It was soooooo boring all he did was talk about dead dogs. I don't want to read a whole book about dogs. Like that was such a waste of time. I don't know why he wrote this all he did was bore people and make people sad.

I'm not going to lie, I hated this book sorry let me make it user friendly. I disliked this book so much. It was so boring my least favorite part of the book was all of it and I did not have a favorite part this book was dumb I'm glad it's over I really did not like this book at all and I don't want to read it or see it ever again.

C : Gary is kindly and loving which makes him strong.

E : Gary is kind and loving to his dogs like how he is kind and loving to Josh.

R : Gary loved dogs since he was a kid and had to see them either die or given to others and I think that makes Gary strong.

Like because I like how Gary made the chapters in most important then chronological order.  My favorite part was where Gary thought that Ike was a bear and fell down the hill.

Gary was shy and adventurous. I know this because when he was younger he was shy so he had no friends so to make up for that he went on adventures with him and his dog at the time like he found Ike and Ike became his hunting do or when Snowball became his adventure. I know this because in the book on pg.19 it said that he was devastatingly shy.

Overall I think the book could have been better because most books have a rising action and some reason to make you want to turn every page in anticipation wanting to know what happens next but this one you want to turn the pages to get the book over with.
