Product Description
'My Hero' to Be Chosen: Eight finalists will compete tonight for the title My Hero. The winner will wear the coveted gold Hero medal. These brave and courageous dogs will each appear with their nominator who will tell their story.
There's Smiley, who fought a giant bull. Bear used his giant paws to save the life of another dog. Munchkin warned a gardener of a poisonous snake about to strike. Old Dog helped find people buried under rubble after a tornado. Buster pulled a baby carriage out of the path of a careening truck. Blue, who had never been known to bark, used his voice to bring help to his wounded master. Dopey's constant barking saved the life of a baby left in a sweltering car. Little Bit brought love and companionship to a nursing home resident.
Each story is told in the unique, sometimes humorous, but always Compelling voice of the person whose life was changed by the heroic action of a very extraordinary dog. Betsy Byars and her daughters Betsy Duffey and Laurie Myers have joined forces to create dog stories full of adventure and suspense. Loren Long's paintings capture the heroic dignity of each of the dogs and heighten the drama of their special stories.

An awesome review by Ti'Anna Scott May 13, 2007

Anyone who likes to read about dogs, here's a book for you! "My Dog, My Hero" is by Betsy Byers and is set in Mr.Frankie's trailer park. The main characters were Smiley, Bear, Munchkin, Old Dog, Buster, Blue, Little Bit and Dopey who were all great dogs. In the story the main characters saved people's lives and other dogs' lives. The main characters also ran into problems like: bulls getting out of gates, helping a man not to get a snake bite, helping another dog from frozen ice, preventing a car that almost ran over a baby who was in a stroller,and more. My favorite character is Dopey because when he barks it means that something is out of place.
Dopey reminds me of myself. I can relate to him because I also react when something is out of place. The only difference is instead of barking,I speak my mind. I have a connection that's a text to text: When our class read a book called "Escaping the Giant Wave," Pansy (Norm and Josie's pet) warned Bee Bee and Kyle that another wave was coming, just like Dopey warned his friend that a baby was in a car by himself.
I liked the book because it was about helfpul dogs who became heroes. The book was very interesting and it reminded me of the saying that "Dogs are man's best friend." Any kids who are 8-10 years old and loves dogs will enjoy reading about the adventures of these brave dogs.

My Dog My Hero is a collection of hero dog stories. All of the stories are true. Some of the stories are sad, but they all have a happy ending. I love this book because it is about dogs. It is easy to read and the pictures are nice. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who love animals like me.

There are many, many, many books that I love to read, but most of all I love to read the book, My Dog My Hero. It is my favorite book. Even though it is short, it is wonderful. One reason it is my favorite book is because it is an animal book. I love animal books, especially dog books. They just give me that feeling . That really good feeling. Next, I like this book so much because the dogs are so brave. One example is when a small dog is on ice, but the ice breaks .The puppy is stuck in the freezing cold water. Then, the big heroic dog leaped into the icy lake only to save the small puppy. I absolutely love this book. Finally, the third reason I like this book so much is because.......well......I don't know, I guess its because these dogs risk their lives for their owner or another dog. This is truly my favorite book.
