The Return Of The Tuesday Dogs

W.H.Allen

Reading Age: 8 to 12. Based on a true story and the inspiration of a 6-part film (see YouTube), 'Scruffy is a classic for perfectly catching a dog's-eye view of the world.' (School Library Journal) One of three pups born to a mother abandoned by her owner when bulldozers clear the street where she lives, Scruffy alone survives. Forced to run with a pack of strays who know better than to trust humans, she finds what she craves most: companionship. Only to be rescued and put in the Tuesday cage of the big-city dog pound with one week to live. This is a sad, touching, but ultimately joyful tale of a dog abandoned to the lonely life of a stray. You will read it again and again, marveling that the canine characters are so real.REVIEWS'A heart-warming story for dog lovers everywhere.Full of fun and love.'--Children s Book Review Service'Scruffy is one of the best books I have read. I liked it because it was very sad and touching. You wanted to find out more and you felt as if you were really there. All the characters seemed real and sometimes I wondered if they were. When you read this book, you felt bad for Scruffy and scared that something would happen to her. The book is also funny at times. It's a very exiting story about a brave dog who's mother has died. The dog, who is named Scruffy, lived with three human family's and one dog one. What happens when she ends up in the pound? Read the wonderful book and find out!!' --Turtleback (11)'Scruffy is a classic for perfectly catching a dog's-eye view of the world.' --School Library JournalTHE AUTHORJack Stoneley was a dogged reporter for the Daily Mirror and later northern editor, a man who loved animals as much (and sometimes more) than he loved humans.
