What I liked about the story is that Dog found a home in honor of Black Nose (“find a mistress”). What I did not like about the story is that Black Nose passed away, and I assume that Wooly passed away (killed) too (because he was left at the pound). I am wondering about why the parents of Plum Dog’s owner) aren’t trying to make their daughter have more respect for them. (though they might do that at the end of the book)
