Publishers Weekly calls it part-Sci Fi, part Gary Paulsen. It reminds me a lot of the best "boy and his dog" coming of age stories that I've read. Anyway you look at it, The Last Dog on Earth by Daniel Ehrenhaft is a great read.
The main character, Logan, gets along with nobody, least of all his step-father. When he finally gets a break- the chance to get a dog- he is happy for the first time in a long time. Until it's clear that a deadly virus is spreading through dogs in the state, and the authorities want every dog dead. Logan and his dog go on the run. But how long can they last? What will happen? Will a cure be found?
Who doesn't love a good story with a loyal canine companion in the middle? Enjoy the book. Keep reading everyone!
