                                                                The Last Dog On Earth

One of the conflicts is there is a disease going around and Logan and his dog have to fight to survive. The disease is called P.O.S. and it turns dogs into bloodthirsty killers. People start to shoot their dogs because they think they have P.O.S, even though they know it’s very painful for the dog.  

Logan got sent to boot camp because Robert didn’t like his behavior. Logan runs away from boot camp with some food, matches, and some string because the people there treat him bad, he’s homesick and he really misses Jack. About two days after he runs away from boot camp he comes up upon a big clump of scary, dark woods. After he’s walked in them for a while he sees a dark shape coming from the distance. He’s very scared that it’s an animal or human with P.O.S. Its running toward him, faster and faster it comes, and just when he thinks it’s going to attack him and rip him to pieces he realizes it’s Jack! He and Jack have to rely on there instincts to survive.

Another of the major conflicts is Jack and Logan have to walk all the way back to his house since he ran away from boot camp. They have to find different ways to catch and scavenge for food on limited resources. One of the things Logan did was he took a big garbage bag and poked tiny holes in it so that water could filter through it, and he also taped a stick to the garbage bag to make a fishing net to reach farther into the river to catch fish there. The reason he poked holes in the garbage bag was because if you try and swish a garbage bag through water without any holes in it’s really hard to move it fast.  Also he stole food from grocery stores and gas stations. Sometimes Jack would come out of the woods with a squirrel or a small rodent. Eventually Logan and Jack end up at Logan’s dads house in the middle of know where.

This is one of the best books I’ve read. It’s a very good story if you like animals, But if you get sad easily this book is NOT for you. I would give it 5 stars out of 5 because its a touching, heartfelt story about the relationship of animals and humans.
