My Dog Skip

My Dog Skip
by Willie Morris


This is a wonderful autobiography about a young boy and his life journey accompanied by his faithful dog, Skip. The story begins with his childhood; he is given Skip as a gift from his parents. Skip is the most intelligent dog ever. He has taught Skip how to play football, go to get bologna from the deli, and he can even drive the old Desoto (with his master's help of course). As they are both getting older, the tales continue about their never-ending friendship. As the boy grows into a man and the puppy grows into a dog, they both grow bigger, older, and wiser. Skip is never forgotten by his owner, even when he goes off to college. Skip is left at home with the parents to be cared for.

This is an awesome book for anyone to read. it is a great book on friendship and companionship. I loved it.
