Evaluation:  Did you like this book? Why or why not? I really enjoyed this book and all of the cute puppies, plus, how playful they were. Also, this book was incredibly thrilling because Mishka is a four-year-old boy who survives with the help of stray dogs. He even uses the leg bone of an elk to kill a very large boar. He calls this boar “The Biggest Pig In All Of Russia”. However, I did not like the ending where he loses all of his doggie friends.
