The second book in the puppy patrol series, i love how ben is such a kindhearted doggy and did his best to keep the small poodle dog named sheba safe from the weather and helped her socialize with other doggies.

Today I am writing a book review on a book called Big Ben, in my thought this was a great book my favorite part in this book was probably when Sheba and Ben ran of and every one started to look for the two dogs and all of the kids came running through the cold snowing weather with the two dogs. This book reminded me of the time I last my dog and found him being just as excited as the kids were to bring the dogs back knowing there okay. When the dogs were first lost I made a prediction that they wouldn't be fount because three out of ten dogs lost are found, but I guess the owner's were one of the three lucky.
I would recommend this book to others because it is a great book that teaches you to get alone with neighbors and to keep up with every thing like pets and looking for them together. I think this is a just right book for me because I understood the vocabulary and all of the formats and the reason for that. One of the problems in this book was when Ms . Fitz and her neighbor’s did not get alone because she thought he’s and her dog were so perfect but Neil, Been and her mother just wanted to be friends. When each on the neighbor’s dogs became missing the problem became resolved my every one coming to find the dogs and they used team work and became friends .I was rely surprised when they became friends because the way they acted towards each other you would think they would be come friends for what has happened .I would like to finish the series because it was a great book with a good lesson to the book and stayed on one topic. I would give this book a five star try reading it for your self.

I read this when I was in about 5th or 6th grade so my review won't be as good as it would if I just read the book. Growing up I wanted to be a vet and I love animals so when I saw this series on my friends floor just sitting there I asked to take them. This series is a good read for younger children it wasn't very hard to read and I loved it. I wish I still had the books because I would re-read them and give a better review :(

I love Ben! But then I love big dogs.

This is a great book, where the reader is reminded that not everything is as it seems. Sometimes what looks like animal abuse isn't -because you don't know the whole story. Sometimes your grumpy neighbors have reasons, you know, for being grumpy. And sometimes dogs really do know better.

Exciting story about lost dogs and new friends. Another great story in the Puppy Patrol!
