My Life in Dog Years By: Gary Paulsen I choose to read My Life in Dog Years, because I really love animals and onthe cover was a picture of a dog which is a book that sounded like something I would be very interested in. (The dog was also really cute!) I read the back and it sounded pretty interesting . I was about each dog that he had owned in his life, how each of them impacted him in their own special way. It was really interesting how he had totally different relationships with each of his dogs, some were his friends somewere the boss, some were equal no better or worse than any other person on this planet. Gary describes his life with the dogs that most impacted his life. He describes the joy and pain that they individually brought to him through out his life. His parents never seemed to be out partying or drinking everyday. They just ignored him as if he were part of the furniture in their house. Gary grew up alone but with the company of his dogs. The dogs in his book had many different impacts on him. Some were hisfriends and others were his equals, some saved his life and some needed to be saved and Gary was always there to help. Once Gary was walking in a field when his next step would be on a rattle snake, Gary knew he couldn't get out of the way fast enough when Snowball came charging threw and attacked the snake saving Gary's life. Gary knew he could never repay Snowball for what he did, risking his life for his owner. Gary had many different dogs growing up and you would think that one out of ten dogs wasn't what Gary was looking for. But no Gary always found something special about each individual dog. There was "the first dog (Pg8).", "A good friend (Pg.19).", and "The wild dog of the Alaskan North (Pg.101).
