    I personally think that this book was great!
    If you love animals than you will like this book because it involves animals! Dessa Dean finds a homeless dog and gives it a home.Read this book because it is one of the best books that i have ever read!

  6. The Leaning Dog is a great book. I say this because in the story, the author is very affectionate. The cover art was also very beautiful. K.A Nuzum is a great author and I hope
    you like The Leanin'Dog as much as I did.

  13. Hi. I think you should definetly read The Leanin'
    Dog because it is a great book. It has the best vocabulary words and the author made the story seem so real, it seamed as if I was standing right next to Dessa Dean through out the whole story. If you're a dog lover, The Leanin' Dog is just right for you!
