Alpha Dog
Seventeen-year old Katie isn’t used to being in control. Her mother drives her crazy with her constant criticism and advice, and her boyfriend of two years just destroyed her whole world by dumping her on her birthday. It’s just as well that Katie’s headed to a summer program at the University of Texas in Austin–at least there, she can get over Chuck at her own pace. But Austin holds its own challenges–like Christine, a cooler-than-thou roommate whose rocker boyfriend is permanently camped out on the couch. When Christine drags Katie to the city pound to check out a potential pet, it’s Katie who’s mesmerized by a pair of brown doggie eyes. Before she can think it through, she’s standing out on the curb with her adorable new dog, Seamus.
There’s only one problem: Seamus is a holy terror. He chews up the apartment, barks maniacally, terrorizes their landlady’s cat, and seems destined to keep the cutest guy in their building at arm’s length. When Katie takes Seamus in for obedience training, she’s told, “You have to be the alpha dog.”
The alpha dog. The head of the pack. Katie has never wielded much power before, but she finds that being top dog can be addictive. Soon she’s acting the alpha dog in every phase of her life, and nothing will ever be the same.

What do you get when you have a misbehaving dog and a girl who needs to take control of her life? Answer: This funny self-discovery story.
It was refreshing to see our protagonist, Katie, not be so put together. A lot of the time we encounter girls with lots of sparkly personality that are thrown some serious problems to get a story, not in this case though. Katie didn't have some serious life altering problem (well I guess that is debatable if you consider your boyfriend dumping you on your birthday as a turning point in your life).
Katie is really bummed out and thinks that maybe her summer away at a college might be just the thing to help her get over her humilation of getting dumped. One day when she accompanies her roommate Christine (at first you hate her and then you love her, weird but true) to the pound, without meaning to, she adopts a dog. I really thought it was neat the way she comes about naming the dog Seamus. Having a dog seems like something everybody can do, but throughout this story you learn there is a difference from having a dog and actually owning and taking care of a dog. This was really cool concept. The analogy of being the alpha dog to Seamus and her own life comes through clear in this story and shows how much each individual is in charge of what happens to them.
Of course there is a guy, Matt, and of course his great. I'm beginning to wonder if these kind of guys exsist. Someone should tell me if they do because I'm having major doubts.
I knocked off a star from the book because it seems like the author had Katie have a nervous breakdown every 50 pages or so to make the book dramatic. Nothing wrong with some emotional drama, but it was used a little too much for my liking. It's not heart wrenching or anything but I even felt depleted after her breakdowns. I would have also preferred if we saw how everything worked out after the fact, if she could keep up with her new found confidence. Other than that I throughly enjoyed reading how Katie found her strong self, that was there all along, through a dog named Seamus.

A very good read. At first Katie seems to be a push over and that was a bit annoying, but as the book progresses she gets a backbone. The dog is a mess but she loves him anyways. The reason why I like the book so much is because the girl changes for the better because of her dog not because of a guy. It was refreshing I guess.
The book has its funny parts and its touching parts too. I would not restrict this book to only dog lovers.

For as long as Katie's lived, her mother has been controlling her life. Before Katie heads off to start classes in University for the summer and living away from home with a roommate, her life falls apart. Her boyfriend dumps her on her birthday and her friends are no longer her friends. In a way, getting away from home—and her control freak mother—is a good thing. She'll be able to reinvent herself in a new place. Pretty soon, Katie's doing things without consulting her mother—like adopting a dog, Seamus, who's causing trouble wherever he goes. Katie can't control Seamus, and it's only when she's recommended to sign up for doggie obedience class that things seem to perk up.
For those who know me, you probably know about my background with dogs. I do not like dogs. This is because one chased me while I was riding a bike and didn't stop until the doggie needed to pee, which scared the heck out of me. So I was surprised when I find myself loving the story, especially Seamus the dog. He was a terror in the book, but still, I couldn't help but feel as Katie had felt: that Seamus was adorable. Even when he chewed up Katie's panties and scared the little kids at the swimming pool.
The humor in this book is incredible. It's not just incorporated once into the story, but multiple times, and sometimes it builds up so that at first, it's entertaining, but it isn't funny until you read the second part that comes later on.
The characters are extremely well-developed. The book is supposed to be about change, and Katie's change happens in a good speed so that it's not awkward or anything else. She sounds like a realistic teenage and her frustration is expressed well in the book. I don't even know how to word it. Trust me, it's just really good. I don't have any complaints. There are tiny mistakes here and there that don't match but it doesn't take away anything from the storyline or characters, and I love how the book flows. Everything matters, even the tiniest details.
On a last thought, I can't wait till Jennifer Ziegler’s second book.

I don’t usually write reviews for books, but this book came to me at a perfect time in my life. For many reasons.
I’m sat here writing this review in the middle of the night because mental health is fun, sleep doesn’t seem to want to happen tonight so here we are. It is such a good job I have a day off tomorrow.
Before I write this review I just want to warnpeople, this book should contain a trigger warning, as there is a specific word that is used frequently throughout the book to describe the dog, I won’t write it here, that is completely inappropriate and upsetting. However I am aware that this book was written well over 10 years ago and back then the word wasn’t as problematic. That aside this book is insanely incredible.
The last few books I have been reading were incredibly dark, disturbing and quite frankly scary. Tonight I just couldn’t sleep, and I needed to read something, but wasn’t in the right state of mind to pick something up that was quite dark. So I decided to pick up this book, I am such an animal lover, especially dogs and I had heard that this, unlike a lot of dog books wasn’t a sad one. Whilst there are moments of deep emotion and somewhat sadness, it’s such an uplifting book.
If you’re in quite a low mood, this book is a perfect one to pick up. Easy to read, I demolished it in about five or so hours, and regardless of if you love dogs or animals, it’s just such an empowering piece of work.
I don’t want to put any spoilers here, so this is why this review is pretty much a stream of consciousness in terms of my brain right now. As I said earlier, got to love mental health.
However, I fear that my flatmates may be very angry with me tomorrow, as I was full belly laughing at many moments within this book. I don’t think I have laughed out loud so much in such a long time, and by laughing I mean pretty much on the floor clutching my stomach. (No exaggeration here)
Seamus, the dog is so so endearing, you have got to love him. And I absolutely adore all of the characters within this book, I don’t necessarily like them all, the parents, without spoiling anything, however every character has personality, is three-dimensional. They are all so well developed.
Katie‘s growth, so so empowering especially for young people, I absolutely adore her as a character because she is so flawed, so real, not like the typical two-dimensional girls you get in a lot of YA novels.
Not only the characters though, the Author has such a way with words, her descriptions are incredibly vivid, and I felt like I was Katie at many moments. Cringing with secondhand embarrassment, whilst also chuckling.
To end this very very rambly and long review... This book came to me at a perfect moment, not just because of my low mood this evening, but for a more amusing one. As a student, studying in a shared environment. This has very much put me off from ever owning a dog whilst trying to study a degree. It’s quite scary really, I have honestly been pondering how my life would change if I had a dog in it, mostly for the positive reasons, and this book has definitely put me off. People don’t realise how much work a dog really is, and I think we would all love to come to the rescue of a dog in need. But maybe sometimes, we choose a dog for selfish reasons. On a serious note, whilst I would so so love one, I will never get one irresponsibly.
Maybe one day, when my life is a bit more stable, I will have my own forever friend... hopefully nowhere near as chaotic as Seamus.😱😂

A very good read, especially for the animal lover inside of us. Jennifer Ziegler brings out the best in the characters in my opinion. If you ever want a story about a dog that doesn't have a chaotic, sad ending; Alpha Dog is what you're looking for! Try it. You won't have any regrets.
I'll be reading this one over and over.

I wasn’t too far into the book reading it right off the bat. I didn’t like that the writing about Seamus being a crazy dog or Chuck. She shouldn’t have to learn to accept her boyfriend not giving her any affection or not showing up on time. it gives young lovers the wrong impression of how things should be in a relationship. I didn’t feel comfortable with the implications of sexual things in the beginning of the story. I didn’t like that her best friend hooked up with Chuck and that he cheated on her. It can be a real realistic situation, but I didn’t like reading it in a story about a dog. Katie seems like a desperate girl for a boy’s attention. I would’ve liked for Katie to at least stand up for herself towards Trina, but she ended up being cowardly and taking it. Her so-called friends weren’t really being friends to her.
I didn’t like how many pages were about the dog’s poop. It felt too long to describe it. The book just infuriated me like when people at the party invaded Katie’s without her permission just to make out. I wasn’t a fan with how Robot a British accent for popularity. I hated that Chuck was able to go with the group to the music festival. I felt like Katie and Christine should’ve told Chuck to leave since it was clear that he wanted to use her to get to New Bile. It felt wrong for Katie to sit on Chuck’s lap in the van.
I did like the paragraph divider being a cute little silhouette of a dog. I liked Matt snd Lyle, but not so much the other characters. It was sweet to read Katie and Christine’s relationship was building as friends and that Seamus was behaving more later on. Robots song for Christine was a sweet moment that I enjoyed to read. It was good to read that the group had Katie‘s back and defended her against Chuck. Matt was very sweet with Katie. I liked that Matt got together with Katie, and that she felt happier. It was good to see that she became independent. Overall, it was a decent story.

Alpha Dog by Jennifer Ziegler is a story about a girl named Katie McAllister who goes to Austin for a summer college program. Her boyfriend breaks up with her on her birthday, and she eagerly goes to Austin to get over him. While she's there, she meets her confident, weiner dog-loving roommate Christine and Christine's musician boyfriend Robot, and the guy-next-door Matt. Christine drags her to a shelter so they can get a dog, and Katie ends up falling for a mutt named Seamus (pronounced Shame-us). He turns about to be a lunatic, and Katie has to take him to an obedience school. While she takes the classes, she learns a lot about herself.
I really liked this book. It isn't as good as How Not To Be Popular, but it was a great read. I love her style- wry humor and kooky characters. The band members of New Bile were funny, especially Kinky. I loved the descriptions of his hair. I also love how her focus was on Katie and her transition and not on her romance with Matt, which some authors love to do because apparently all teenagers are obsessed with love. (Please.) Very good book; I would definitely recommend it.

Katie just lived throught her worst birthday ever. Her boyfriend Chuck just broke up with her on her 17th birthday. Her mom is controlling her life, and now she is going to a summer school in Texas. There, she meets her roomate Christine, who acts like an innocent sweetheart, but turns out to ignore any rule, inviting guys to stay in her apartment and is able to do anything she wants. Katie is stuck with her mom calling her everyday to make sure everything is alright, and has to talk to Christine to make sure everything is alright. When Christine goes to the pound to look for her Daschund, finding out that the one she wanted is gone, Katie finds herself in love with another dog there. Without permission from anyone, she comes home with an adorable mutt. Unfortunately, this dog isn't so "adorable" because he tears up the apratment and chews on everything! Not to mention that Katie thinks its constipated because it hasn't pooped since she's adopted it. This dog is a piece of work and it takes a hardworking, determined, and loving owner to keep this puppy happy.

When you know you've found the one, you'll know.
In Alpha Dog, Ziegler writes the story of a 17-year old high school girl, Katie, who is maturing into a confident, independent and responsible adult. The story basically begins with Katie being dumped by her popular boyfriend, Chuck, on her birthday and just before heading off to summer school at a university. Katie, suddenly finds herself, friendless and lonely. (Her boyfriend was dating one of her friends). Anyway, after being dumped, she heads off to the college program and finds herself rooming with a girl that loves weiner dogs and is "not exactly what she thought". On a trip to the pound (her roommate was going to adopt a dog), Katie finds herself in love with a brown-eyed dog, Seamus/William, whose time was about to be up. Before she knows it, she finds herself rescuing him and loving him unconditionally. This is the moment where the story and Katie's independence begins.
Ziegler tells a wonderful story about growing up and the power of friendship, companionship, and love.

A funny teen romance with a dopey dog at the center of the story:
17 year old Katie has left home for the first time to attend a pre-college summer at the University of Texas, Austin. Her mom's kind of a control freak so Katie jumps at the chance to move into an apartment with a punky party girl and her loud friends (unbeknownst to mom.)
On a whim, Katie adopts Seamus, a pound pooch with pitiful, pleading brown eyes. Seamus has a tendency chew everything in sight, bark continuously, and scare the landlady's cat. Katie slowly learns that in order to step her life up, gain some independence from mom, be in control of her own life, she'll need to claim her own inner alpha.

Alpha Dog: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was such a heart-warming touching story. While I was reading the end, I started to cry. When she didn't have her dog, neither did I, so I got out of bed and searched my house for him. We read the rest of this amazing story together. I love this book so much. It will always be one of my favorites. I'm a dog lover. All my love to all the dogs and people who truly care for their precious companions.

Amusing and sweet medium-length read!! It's a good length, and I recommend it for pretty much anyone. Brief Summary: Katie, the main character, makes friends and learns to stand up for herself after she buys a dog while at some summer learning classes on her own. Meet Matt, the guy next door (literally), her roommate Christine, and Christine's rock/punk boyfriend Robot. Plus the annoying cat Mrs. B and her owner, the old lady.

This book was chosen in my book club since the chooser knows the author (local Austin). It was cute and fun but definitely written for teenage (or younger) girls. It's very PG and simply cutesy. I do like the love of the dog and her struggle with taming it. We have a dog, too, and so I understand the struggle of training it. A quick, fun read.
June 15, 2010
I liked this book. It was quirky and made it very clear that owning a dog is a lot of responsibility and not to be taken lightly. With that responsibility comes great rewards. Unconditional love. Dogs are cool.
This was also a learning to stand on your own two feet story. Growing up and dealing with life and learning to make your own choices.
Great book for teens.

I loved this book! It's about a young lady going to summer college classes before her senior year of high school. She is allowed by her overbearing mother to live in an off campus condo with another young lady. They end up going to a shelter to get her roommate a dog and she comes home with one! Let the adventures begin!

You may think this sounds like a little kid book. But it's not. There is quite a bit of profanity and content. It's absolutely EXCELLENT despite that. There is a lot of romance too. And not little kid romance. I did not want to put this book down. Recommended to people 12+.

A must-read for animal lovers!

I think that it's a good story about stepping away from people who aiern't right for you. And I think adding a crazy dog in there makes everything even better!!! :)
