(2) YA "Lassie with an attitude" is how an animal shelter employee describes the feral collie he brings in one day. It's also an apt description for this novel--a dog story that isn't sappy--and its protagonist, Rachel, who is both kindhearted (toward dogs) and hostile (toward almost everyone else). The satisfying novel is a fast but semi-sophisticated read for teens who haven't outgrown dog stories.
