Why read it?

1 author picked Poppy in the Wild as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This dog story is one that kept me on the edge of my seat! I recommend it because it is well written as well as educational.

The book details how a skittish little Beagle named Poppy escaped from his home in Southern California and how his guardian, a volunteer rescuer, received help from other lost dog rescuers that ultimately helped her to capture the scared little dog.

From Kat's list on lost dog recovery.
