Opinion:
Rutherford, Canine Comic is action-packed and leaves you wanting more. I enjoyed reading about Rutherford’s adventure. I liked the part where the coyotes attacked Rutherford. The author created a lot of emotion in this book. It was easy to feel sad when Rutherford was abandoned in the forest and when the coyotes attacked him. I like how Rutherford never gave up and how throughout his adventure he showed determination. I also liked when Rutherford was at the vet clinic and how the vet assistant didn’t give up on trying to persuade the vet to let Rutherford live. I recommend this book for anyone older than eight. I can’t wait to read more by this author.
