Hello Again

I highly recommend this book to animal lovers, or any child with a dog, or one who'd like a dog. I read this book in grade school 13-14 years ago, and I can't wait to get a copy for my 9 year old niece. The story has vivid desert scenery,well rounded characters, and a special bond between boy and dog. The author keeps the story moving to keep the interest of young readers.

Wonderful dog story

It's a pity this book is out of print. It's a great dog story without any of the anthropomorphizing or exaggerated canine brilliance found in most dog books.The main characters are a boy and his grandfather and a German Shepherd named Blaze. The boy is an orphan, living with his fussy aunt and uncle. The grandfather lives far away and raises German Shepherds. The grandfather sends the boy a puppy, but the aunt and uncle immediately get rid of it, giving it away to the uncle's co-worker.A year later, tragedy has struck. The kennel has burned down, killing all the grandfather's dogs. He comes to fetch Blaze, hoping to start the bloodline over again, but finds that the dog has turned savage from abuse and neglect. He takes the dog and goes home, not realizing that the boy has stowed away in the back of his truck.Together the boy and his grandfather get to know each other and retrain Blaze. This book has humor, suspense, mystery, and tears. The dog is all dog, and the people are complex and interesting. Essential for the dog enthusiast.
