NO SPOILERS!I thought this was a very good book! It was very hard for me to put it down! This book was basically about an Australian boy named Corey, his sisters Amelia and Grace, his mom and dad, and of course a Dalmatian Great Dane mixed dog named Mister Mosely. Corey basically told Mister Mosely's story and throughout his life. I thought it was neat how it is all based on a true story. I would recommend this book to any dog lovers! Not perfect, but a nice light enjoyable read! Mr. Mosely is a dalmatian mix adopted by Corey and his family. Mr. Mosely, a bit ungainly, manages to capture the hearts of the mom, dad, and children through his adventures and comical personality. There are a few tough moments in the book -- Mr. Mosely recovers from an awful car accident, gets hooked by a fishing pole, and saves Corey from a suspicious couple. This charming dog and his family will captures the hearts of dog lovers. Set in Australia, American readers may be interested in comparing their own lives to this caring Aussie family.Recommended for grades 3 - 5.

This book can be really funny. But in the end it was really sad!! I was so upset. :(

Sweet story about a boy and his dog. Can be a bit of a tear jerker.
