Customer Reviews

Beautiful story

I first read this book as a child and fell in love with it. This past Christmas I decided share it with family because this is a story that should always be remembered and passed down. It's a happy story but it is one filled with heartache. I remember spending most of my time reading this close to tears. But that ending made everything worth it. I just adore this story.

The Life of a Homless Dog

Santa PawsSome of my favorite parts in the book Santa Paws are when he saves people, and goes through a lot to get his home. It is sad his mother accidentally left him when he was a puppy. There are other books published of Santa Paws. There is a series of them listed in the book.In all the books, he saves people wherever he goes. I greatly recommend that you read this adventurous book of an adventurous dog because it makes you feel how lucky you are to have what you have and to be safe and not starving to death.

The best book ever

Santa Paws was a great book. It was very descriptive and the characters in the book were great. The only Critisism in this story was that the author never told the reader the parents' names. Santa Paws is a fantastic family book and is great for the holiday season.

Great Holiday book!!

Santa Paws is about a dog who was a street dog with his family. But then, his family got taken by the pound so he's on his own. It's Christmas time and numerous people who see him try to take him home but, he's scared so he runs away. I like this book because it's so simple. He walks around all day... sometimes to the park... sometimes to the back of the pizza parlor to get a drink.... he's in a small town and you get the small town feeling you get when you watch "Gremlins". He saves about six or seven people's lives and ends up getting an owner. to find out who the owner is, read the book.

This is a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY good book

This was the best book I ever read!!!!I would have given it 15 stars if I could!!!!Even though it was very sad I reeeeaaaalllly liked it!!!!I recommend this book for ages 9 through 999.

It was very very very good.

The one line summary and the rating were provided by the 10 yr old who had just completed the book. She enjoyed the story even if it was sad in places. This is the first book my non-reader has willing sat down and read from start to finish without complaint. Edwards captures the imagination and hits the perfect emotional pitch for this age group
