A touching book that you will never forget!

I luv this book! I read it 5 times! I'm not obsessed, I just love the book! It's really worth your money and time. This is the kind of book you can read over and over again.

great, heart-warming, reinforces pets, kids WANT to read

Great story, with great illustrations. This book held the attention of my 8yo active son, and he enjoyed reading it. The illustrations make you feel as if you are actually touching the dog. What made it even better was that we own a black lab, identical to the one drawn in the book, and our lab came from the local pound. Hit home!

This is a book about a dog named Tornado

My name is Cassie. I am seven years old and in 2nd grade. It was a really good book! I got this book in the public library. One part, Pete, held out a deck of cards and Tornado (the dog) got one of the cards. And it was the three of hearts. This was pictured in the book and this was my favorite part. And also one part I liked too, was Tornado was in the back of the truck and Pete's father and him saw somebody saying "Buddy, Buddy" and Pete didn't know it was their dog. And they said, "this looks like our dog that flew across in the tornado". So Pete had to give the dog up. One day, Pete thought Tornado was back but he was just imagining hearing Tornado's tail wagging against the barn. But he really was back! And the people that were Tornado's owners didn't even come back to get Tornado! Pete yelled "Tornado's back, Tornado's back". And everyone ran outside. And they shouted Tornado's back!
