Trooper will appeal to dog lovers in grades kindergarten and up, or perhaps inspire readers to consider adopting special needs animals.more This story is even more meaningful knowing this book was inspired by the author's own dog. The text is written in small paragraphs or a lone sentence. The illustrations are gorgeous and remind me of paintings. This is a story inspired by the real Trooper. There Trooper watches each of his friends get adopted, but not him. One day they are lured into the back of a man's truck with a juicy steak. Trooper is a three legged dog who runs with a gang of mutts. He's the only one left until finally, one lucky day, just the right boy comes around and finds that this three-legged mutt is the perfect pet for him! Trouper watches sadly as, one by one, each of his dog friends are chosen.
