The Dog Who Wouldn't Be
The Dog Who Wouldn't Be | Farley Mowat
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Farely Mowat's best-loved book tells the splendidly entertaining story of his boyhood on the Canadian prairies. Mutt's pedigree was uncertain, but his madness was indisputable. He climbed tress and ladders, rode passenger in an open car wearing goggles and displaying hunting skills that bordered on sheer genius. He was a marvelous dog, worthy of an unusual boy growing up in a raw, untamed wilderness.

Mehso-so

Actually my favourite chapter was the one with the two owls (Mowat used those owls in his fictional kids‘ story, “Owls in the Family”). The book was more like short stories, but that‘s ok. Mutt was a character. A lot of people seem to consider this a children‘s book, but I didn‘t think it read that way. A boy and his dog, sure. I suppose that would appeal, but it didn‘t seem particularly written for kids. I‘m rating it good.

This is a sweet and charming story of Mowat growing up on the prairies of Canada with his ever- so adventurous dog. A quick read that takes you back to a much simpler time. Decided to share my schnauzers being humiliated with headbands! They just make me laugh.
