My Dog, My Hero

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Loren Long. Eight dogs, finalists in a contest, have their stories told by the people who nominated them for the My Hero medal. The stories are somewhat contrived, and most are too short to build much suspense, but the book will still hold appeal to young fans of dog stories. Illustrations with a 1950s look match the old-fashioned feeling of the stories.
