Review
Helen’s determination and love for Tuck is what made me like this book so much, as well as the fact that it was based on a true story. This makes the book worth reading, because it is so honest and real. Helen has a lovely family who supports her, but even when they thought that Helen had tried enough, she never gave up. She kept trying, focusing on her goal, and doing what she knows is best for her dog. This is what I love about the character, and I think it sends out a positive message to children everywhere.
