Product Description
He is nameless.
He is homeless.
He is friendless.
He is lost. Until he is found . . . by a team of mutts who shelter him and teach him how to survive the wilds of the city park. And so he becomes Waggit, the best hunter and tracker in the pack, and the dog with the most powerfully wagging tail. Waggit grows to love his team, especially its leader, Tazar, and his best friend, an old dog named Lowdown. But life in the park is dangerous and uncertain. In winter, food and warmth are scarce. Another team of wild dogs is a constant menace. And always, there is the fear of capture by park rangers. Waggit can't help feeling that something is missing . . . something warm and cozy and . . . human. Then one day everything changes and Waggit must face a new threat and a new choice. Peter Howe's tale of an abandoned puppy's search for a home is an exciting mix of humor, adventure, and suspense. Most of all, it is a story of how love can turn strangers into family.

"Waggit's TALE" August 24, 2008
Andrea
My husband saw a review for "Waggit's TALE" in the Sunday "Phildelphia Inquirer" earlier this summer. Since my little, white German Shepherd Dog is a spitting image of Waggit, I just had to get the book.
Although touted as a children's book, I think it can be enjoyed by everyone. I specifically bought the book to read with my 8 year old niece, but have enjoyed it on my own.
There is nothing better than life with a dog, or two, or three or more. Waggit can remind all of us about what is important in life. Dogs keep it simple, and simplicity is so underrated in the hustle and bustle most of us have come to know as "life". Everyone should have a dog, and this book!
Regards,
Andrea and Fiona
Exciting dog adventures... August 23, 2008
I really enjoyed this book! The story had lots of different adventures in it. It was funny at times and it was sad at times. There was something new at the end of every chapter that made me want to read the next chapter. I highly recommend this book to other readers. (Age 9)
great read! August 13, 2008

My 10yr old son and I enjoyed this fun book to read together. Waggit is likely to become the modern day Lassie! My son says, "I think this book is great. What I liked about Waggit's Tale is that the dog pack goes on a lot of great adventures and gets chased. My favorite part was when Lowdown tricked Waggit to pounce on a metal dog statue. I liked that part because it was funny and then the real trouble came. I learned that there is always someone that loves you in the world. I would recommend this book to anyone. It is funny, adventurous and really entertaining."
- What a breath of fresh air to find a book this fun and wholesome at the same time! I hope there will be some sequals!!!!- Greg Brake
