Soldier Dog Book Report

Soldier dog is about a boy called Stanely who lives on a farm and is dreading his time at home. His father has changed and has become more aggressive and less kind after Stanley's mother died and his brother left to go to war. One day Stanely let out his fathers prize dog when she was on heat and Stanely's dad became furious. Bitches are never the same after breeding, they cant race like before.

Stanely then runs away after his father killed the "impure" puppies of the race dog. Stanely enlists in the Dog Messenger Service because he wants to find his brother and stay with him until the war ends and is given a new dog. He was only fourteen when he enlisted. Because of this he was only given one dog instead of three because the commander didn't want him to be sent to war.  Stanely eventually makes it to the the front lines and witnesses the horrors of war.


Overall this is a great book and I would recommend it to all teenagers.
