Book Reviews of The Trouble with Tuck: The Inspiring Story of a Dog Who Triumphs Against All Odds
Book Review: Inspiring story, especially for dog lovers
Summary: 3 Stars
This may be simply one of those books that moreso appeals to dog lovers. Regardless of that fact, this is still a very touching story with an interesting idea behind it. A young girl loves her dog, named for her favorite Robin Hook character. However, when Tuck begins to have trouble seeing, she does not know what to do... until she hears of the seeing eye dog program. What follows is a very logical and plausible story about a girl's love for her dog and the relationships between animals. Again, this is probably best for dog lovers, but that does not detract from the story's heart.
Summary of The Trouble with Tuck: The Inspiring Story of a Dog Who Triumphs Against All Odds
Available for the first time in a Yearling edition, the classic, inspiring story of a dog who triumphs against all odds, by the bestselling author of The Cay.Helen adored her beautiful golden Labrador from the first moment he was placed in her arms, a squirming fat sausage of creamy yellow fur. As her best friend, Friar Tuck waited daily for Helen to come home from school and play. He guarded her through the long, scary hours of the dark night. Twice he even saved her life.
Now it's Helen's turn. No one can say exactly when Tuck began to go blind. Probably the light began to fail for him long before the alarming day when he raced after some cats and crashed through the screen door, apparently never seeing it. But from that day on, Tuck's trouble--and how to cope with it--becomes the focus of Helen's life. Together they fight the chain that holds him and threatens to break his spirit, until Helen comes up with a solution so new, so daring, there's no way it can fail.
