No wonder, since he was attacked by a dog when he was just a baby. So when a stray puppy comes sniffling around the farm, Ricky tells it to get lost. But the puppy keeps trying to play with Ricky. And every time Ricky's Mom feeds the cats, the little dog comes running. The cats aren't sharing their food, however, and the poor pup is slowly starving. If Ricky doesn't overcome his fear, the little puppy may die -- but if he lets himself get close enough to feed it, he may find the best friend he's ever had! Winner of the Texas Bluebonnet, the Oklahoma Sequoyah and the Nebraska Golden Sower Awards. | | | Features: | |

 My best kid memory of a bookOct 02, 2009
I just love this book. I don't remeber the age I was when I first read it but somewhere around 10. I loved it so much that I read it more than once. When talking to others about my favorite books this is one I always come back to, even now in my early 30's. I plan to purchase this for my children.
A wonderful bookAug 26, 2009
For a children's book it is very well written. I was a huge Bill Wallace fan when I was in Middle School and read all of his books. In fact I'm willing to read some of his new material even though I'm way to old to be reading his books. Every page is full of good detail and you really get to imagine the book the way Wallace wanted you to. There are some violent scenes but I loved that being a middle school aged boy. Something sad happens at the end but unlike other people It's not worth giving such a great book 1 star. This is a good book for everyone to read.
Have you ever had a fear?Jun 13, 2009
well there is a kid named Ricky. Ricky was scared of dogs ever since he was three years old. He got bitten by a dog.
I would give this a five-star rating. That's how awesome this is. It's not very much of a comedy, but it is a fun book.and it is very sad . I felt bad for the little pup.
I think that if you read this book you would understand it better if you read it with a partner.
A Dog Called KittyFeb 10, 2009
As a fourth grade teacher I read this book to my class to help display painting pictures with words. Yes, Kitty does die a tragic death; however, this story is a perfect example of a story coming full circle. The story beautifully written, though my students had difficulty understanding the OK setting and farm life it gave me an opportunity to share my life with them, growing up on a farm in MN. After reading this book many of my students were enticed to read more of Bill Wallace's books. For sensitive children warn them that with all things comes an end, but when a door closes a window opens. Though Ricky wanted to give up on dogs he could not.

 not for sensitive childrenDec 10, 2008
This book has a very graphic scene (one of many) of a dog attack. The boy beats off several dogs (who are mauling his dog) and he breaks a German Shepard's back with a club. The language is very graphic/mean-spirited within the book and I'm not really sure it's suitable for children--maybe older children--but certainly not for children who love animals. Plus, Kitty dies suddenly in the end when he is crushed by pipes. At that point, children won't care about the "message" within the book at all. Bottom line: I wouldn't suggest this book for sensitive kids, it made my 9-year-old cry and she wants me to get rid of the book.
