"I have an obsession with books about kids with Asperger's syndrome. I like the way they think - it suits me. The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time by Mark Haddon is great."

Could have been a 5 star book I think - It was a bit lacking in some areas - why was it so repetitive sometimes? I get you're a chemist, etc. - I think it'd have been fun to learn more on that as far as making the weapons, etc. However, where the book shines is 100% in the dog arena. That was my favourite part of the whole book, when will there be a dog what's happening OMG :P I'm a pet person what can I say.

"The greatest female protagonist I’ve ever read. Portis is one of the most underrated under appreciated authors of the 20th century. Forget the film versions. Read the book. His book, ‘Dog Of The South,’ is also brilliant."

402. The Call of the Wild. The tale of a CGI dog named Buck. With its all too human eyes, and unrealistic facial expressions, Buck is the main character, he doesn't speak, for that we have Harrison Ford narrating, then later becomes a character, John Thornton. Buck is the mayors dog, and everyone loves him for his all too human ways, but danger lurks. In the Yukon there's a dog shortage?? Ok then, Buck gets kidnapped, beaten into submission, in a Disney way, don't worry. Luckily tho, Buck is purchased by a super nice postal worker, Perrault and partner Francois who needs him on his sled, and at this point we realize there must be a dog shortage, because the CGI dogs he has are rough, missing eyes, ears, old as Walk Disney's decapitated head waiting to be reborn with a trillion bucks in the bank! Buck becomes lean and tough, learns to be part of a team and ultimately lead that team! And when that job dries up, Buck meets John Thornton, a sad kinda guy, suffering from a huge loss in the past he can't move past. John saves Buck from another dog sled operator, who seems to be hellbent on going on a suicide mission. The two become the best of friends going on grand adventure off the map, and showing Buck his true place in the world! Filmbufftim on FB

I have found a book about neglect. It's about a dog that gets mistreated. This book talks about a topic that is hard to bring up. This book explains well to children. Yes, this is about a dog, but it could be for children.

This book was a bit heartbroken at first. Though it does help with making children and adults understand about being mistreated. Please, if you see neglect, please help, whether it's children or dogs. This book is about a rescue dog.

He tells his story of being mistreated and how he recovered. Here is an excellent book to have on your bookshelves, and it is unique. What will happen to Punk? Will he ever learn to trust again? If you have a rescue dog, please let them know you love them but let them know. Let them come to you when they are ready.

Children will learn about some life lessons and rescue dogs. They will learn about how to take care and be in love and be patient. We all need to know this same lesson sometime. We remember we do learn how to take care of and love a rescue dog. This book is suitable for children to know that children and dogs can be loved, healed, and overcome neglect and mistreatment. There are some resources in the back of this book for help. Great for classrooms and bookshelves.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
1975 | Crime, Drama, Thriller

"[Sidney] Lumet, Dog Day Afternoon. I mean, I don’t know what there is to say about Al Pacino’s performance as John Wojtowicz. But it’s a really complicated, really emotionally messy, but driven performance. Now there’s a documentary about the real guy called “something” Dog; I forgot the name of it [editor’s note: it’s The Dog], but the doc is just as much worth seeking out. It’s almost kind of neat to see it after you watch the movie. But the way that Dog Day Afternoon unfolds almost in real time over the course of one day in Brooklyn. And the John Cazale character. First of all, it’s just a beautiful portrait of an outlier community. The homosexual community at a specific time in New York, and that niche, there were these tough guys. They were going to do anything for their dream, anything – rob a bank. But nothing they do goes right. But watching him get wrapped up in his own ego and the drama of it and the romance; it’s one of the most romantic movies I’ve ever seen. It’s a really, really beautiful film, but it’s devastating. It’s also a very regional film. I love it."
