The Dog Who Danced by Susan Wilson

Justine is heading cross country to visit her dying father. She has hooked up a ride with a trucker. Her baggage is just a few bags and her Sheltie, Mack. The truck driver ends up leaving Justine at a truck stop and he does not know at first that Mack is still in the back of his truck. He eventually figures that out and drops Mack off on the side of a major interstate. Mack is found by Alice and Ed, an older couple who have suffered a great loss and are really looking for someone or something to love, though they may not know it at the time. As Mack, now called Buddy, begins to bond with Alice and Ed, Justine is spending time with her dying father while trying to track down Mack. Will Justine and Mack be reunited?

This was a great read. It was obvious how much Justine loved Mack and also obvious as to how much Alice and Ed loved Buddy. All of the characters were ones that readers were sympathetic to and would care about their happiness. Mack/Buddy was a great canine character--smart, intuitive and full of personality plus. I enjoyed this book a lot.

I received this book to review through the Amazon Vine program.

Not bad. Not as good as One Good Dog. The audio version is done well. There are two narrators, one for Justine and the other for Mack and general narration. 

I liked it.
