Explanation In Favor Of Books Sheep

The sheep closed in around him like a big, woolly blanket. The
puppy had never been so scared or so excited in his life. Soon
he was racing, feinting, dodging - learning what it means to be
one of the proud breed of Border collies, the finest sheepherders
in the world. Then, almost overnight, his life is turned upside
down. He finds himself in a series of strange places, with no
sheep, his family gone. With nothing but the courage he was
born with and a dream, he searches for the life he once knew,
gathering names and adventures as he goes. For a short time,
he's called Blackie. To the Goat Man, he's Shep. To Hollerin,
he's Spot. There's one name that threatens to forever haunt
him - Sparky, the name Billy the circus man calls him when he
reaches for the whip. But there's another name that he is given,
one that finally makes him feel at home . . .

Known for her rich character development, the author brings
all her skills to delving into the mind of a clever, philosophical,
and hopeful dog searching for a home.

While this was a cute story it took a lot for me to get my nephew interested in reading it. I don't know if there wasn't enough action or if because it was told from a dogs perspective he just didn't really care about it. It was a fine read and I am glad we finished it, but I am not in a hurry to read more at this time.

Sheep is a heartwarming story of a stray who is questioning his identity and chasing a dream of his old home before it was closed down. He begins his search once the farm he was raised on is shut down after there is a fire and they must give away all their herding dogs away. Through this book, readers can get an insight into what it would be like to be a stray dog on the streets searching for a home and someone to trust. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and the messages that it offers

A liitle diffrent than I thought but great story though.
