The book I am reading is Ellie's Story by W. Bruce Cameron. Since Ellie was a puppy, she has been trained as a search-and-rescue dog by Jakob, her owner. She finds people and saves them, it's what she's meant to do. Throughout the book, Ellie learns more and more about her job as a search-and-rescue dog. She encounters many distractions while working, but manages to focus on what she is supposed to be doing. Ellie is sometimes confused about what Jakob really wants from her, but that is why they keep training.
Ellie reminds me of my dog because Ellie doesn't fully understand what Jakob means when he trains her. But when she does something right, she gets a reward. This is just like my dog because he didn't understand what I meant when I was teaching him to "sit." So I kept trying to get him to do what I said. And when he did, I rewarded him with a treat, and told him he was a good boy. The dog-sitter Georgia, reminds me of me because she loves dogs and is so happy to see Ellie when she comes through the door. This is exactly what I would do because I love my dogs and taking care of them. I am always happy to see them when I get home. When Jakob got Ellie in the beginning of the book, he took care of her and gave her attention. This happened in my own life when I got my dog, I gave him all my attention and played with him for the rest of the day.
I can't believe the amount of people that go up to a dog that's working and they don't even realize it. They don't know that they are really distracting the dog from doing important business. I felt sad when Jakob took Ellie to the cemetery. He was feeling very sad and Ellie could recognize it. So she felt sad with him. I like the way the author wrote the book from Ellie's perspective, because it shows all the things that she doesn't understand and what is going through her head.
