  4. I like the mountain dog because it is very funny and sometimes you can't tell the speaker whether it was the dog thinking or the little boy speaking.

  8. I think this book is amazing for children 10 and older. Children that are younger than 10, they wouldn't understand it. I read the whole book and it was very interesting. The book was about a little boy who's mom ended up in jail. She ended up in jail because she started illegal dog fights. I'm not going to say anything else, but if you want to learn me read the book Mountain Dog.

  10. Mountain Dog is a very good book. A boy lived with his mom who fought pit bulls illegally. He now lives with his uncle in the mountains. His uncle has a good dog who the boy is not used to at first. I don't want to spoil it for you, so if you want to learn more about Mountain Dog you should read the book. I do recommend this book for 10 years old and older.
