review 1: I Read this book today and fell in love with Owney. This is based on a true story about a Mail Dog who won the hearts of mail carriers in the late 1800s. Owney traveled the world sticking close to his postal pals and protecting the mail. He was given postal tags from all over the United States as he hopped on different mail trains. He even had the opportunity to visit other countries. This is definitely a special story.
review 2: This is a wonderful story and it is based on a dog that really did live in the late 1800's. The dog was "adopted" by the post office when he turned up there. He "worked" for the post office for the rest of his life. There have been many versions of Owney's story published in picture book form but this is the latest and I think ... morechildren will really enjoy it. I did and I cannot wait to visit Owney in the Smithsonian now! less
