review 1: "Welcome Home" is the sweet story of Jake, a black lab who begins life in a terrible way and decides to run away. This is the story of his journey to the man whose voice he has heard over and over in his dreams. Along the way, Jake has many adventures and is joined by other dog friends, and even a cat! This book isn't rocket science, but it's sweet and heart-warming and I enjoyed it. I think it would be ideal for an elementary or middle school-age child who loves animals. It could benefit from some editing (because duel/dual, your/you're, and place/placed are not interchangeable), but you could use it as a read-aloud for your child and avoid that difficulty. Billi Tiner is a vet, which adds to the book's appeal, to me at least.Recommended.
review 2: Summary: Ja... moreke has a puppyhood dream of the kindest man in the world being his owner. However, he is given away to a cruel man who beats him instead. He escapes the abuse only to be temporarily loved by a homeless woman, set upon by a gang of dogs, makes a few animal friends, and is hit by a car.Simple story for young children who can tackle a chapter a day (167 page book) - I don't know if I can recommend it as a bedtime story given some of the imagery. It's going to be fine for 1st to 3rd graders, as long as they're not oversensitive to the fact that people aren't always nice to their pets (you can be assured it will turn out well because of the title). For older kids, grades 4 and up, I much prefer the depth and richness of Flawed Dogs by B. Breathed. Both involve dogs talking about death, neglectful owners, and both even involve shootings.Another self-published book that needs a good editor (duel/dual) though as a read aloud/along it shouldn't be an issue. less
