The Lost Puppy

Animal Stories #20

by Holly Webb

Ruby is thrilled when she gets to meet her aunt's dachshund's new puppies for the very first time. And her parents have a wonderful surprise - she is going to have one of them for her very own! Ruby chooses the cheekiest, most adventurous puppy, Toby, and the two have fun playing together. But Toby's inquisitive nature gets him into serious trouble on a woodland walk, when he slips his collar and goes off to investigate the woods by himself. Soon he is lost and very frightened, especially as night falls. Will Ruby and Toby ever be reunited?

A sweet little kids book that my seven year old adored. Little Rina the dog goes looking for her young owner Emi - this book reminded my sever year old of her own dog how much she loves him and made her think of the mischief he would get upto if he ever got off his lead.

My seven year old rates this book 4 out of 5.

Ruby is so happy when her parents let her adopt a little dachshund puppy who she names Toby. Toby is small, but it’s clear he wants to be in charge of every single dog he sees when walking. Because of this Ruby’s family decides to walk in the woods. There are less dogs there. But when Ruby’s little sister, Anya slips and scrapes her face, Toby runs off! Will Ruby ever see him again? I loved this cute story. It has a very happy ending and is to read out loud. I love any book from Holly Webb.

My daughter brought this home from the school library and couldn't put it down. She read it until she finished it, so I thought I'd read it too. I found it to be a cute but quick enjoyable story about a lost dog learning some lessons and then being reunited with his owner. When my daughter enjoys a book that much, it's a definite must read for me and a recommend read as well.

Somewhat girly story about a puppy. My child never finished it.

A lovely little book. I got this for my son to read on the plane and obviously read it first and it's a very cute story that I'm sure my boy will love

This is a cool story, but I think it would be better if Lucky met more people after he ran away and before he met Jake.

Urocze!

I enjoy this book because it tells me what happened to Lucky and how Cristy found him. It was good luck that a man didn't keep him.

Książeczka o szczeniaku o imię Fred, który się zgubił. Tytuł jest właściwy!

Była moja czwarta książka, którę przeczytałem po polsku. Na początku urocze słowa były trudne do zrozumienia - i były wiele z nim nawet w pierwszym rozdziału - ale stawało się łatwiejszo. W książce też było trochę słów o psach, na przykład 'merdać ogoniem', ale większość słów była prosta.

Historia sama była urocza i przepominała mi o moim dziecieństwu, bo wtedy lubiłem książki Holly Webb'a. Części o Fredzie kiedy był sam były smutne. Zawsze czuję się dużo emocjach, kiedy czytam o złych doświadczeniach zwierzętach.

Jedno złe: książka przysparzała mnie chcieć szczeniaka, ale już mam kotki!

As those of us who are dog lovers know, taking care of a new puppy is a lot of responsibility. When Christy's aunt gives her one of her dachshund's babies, she is thrilled because it's the very one she's had her eye on. It's love at first sight, of course, and Christy and Lucky enjoy going on walks and getting used to new routines. When Lucky disappears while in the back yard, Christy finds her in a most unlikely place, but that disappearance foreshadows a even more frightening one. When Christy's younger sister Anna trips and hurts herself while the family is walking in a woodsy area a good distance from home, Lucky's leash and collar become loose, and the puppy ends up lost in the woods. By the time the family realizes she's missing, she is nowhere to be found. Lucky lives up to his name, though, as a kind-hearted jogger finds her. Late elementary and early intermediate readers will enjoy the story, partly because of its animal focus and happy ending and partly because of how seriously Christy takes her responsibilities as Lucky's human companion and caregiver.
