If a dog can retrieve a baseball hit into the bramble when he wasn’t present to see it, and if the dog can swim to the opposite side of the lake where the boy is fishing, he can find his way into our hearts. The grown boy reminisces and shares stories of how Jack the dog taught him about life and love and faith. Jack’s legacy continues to shape the now grown man, and through the author, us.

This book was great, great, great! I felt like I was with that boy and his dog. I was transported into the Wisconsin woods in the mid 1960’s, and could practically smell the dirt and hear the birds on the lake as I enjoyed adventure after adventure.

Very moving book. It touched me and reminded me of my childhood in Idaho with my dog. Thank you Victor for the fond memories. Ken Crosby

This is a wonderfully well-written novel that will delight the hearts of the young and the old. It brings you back to your own memories with real life reflections. A great book to be read again and again!

I love dogs. The love and loyalty you get from them is like nothing else. Their fun and antics make you laugh and recall them fondly long after they’re gone. Reading Jack the Dog reminded me of all those wonderful moments I shared with the dogs I had growing up, and it only intensified my desire to get another dog. Any pet lover can relate to the stories that you find in this book. If you had pets that you truly loved and cherished, you’ll recognize them in the tales of Jack and his boy. But this book is more than just a trip down memory lane for pet owners. It’s a great story about Jack and the boy and that relationship and all that is pure, simple and wonderful about it. The relationship, and the book itself, is far greater and deeper than just a tale about a boy and his dog. It was wonderfully written. Any adult will love the stories and relate to a lot of the childhood joy that it recalls. It also makes a great story to read to kids. And if you’ve never had a pet and never known what that experience is like, this book will show you what you’ve missed.

What a great book about “Jack” the sweet lab. It was a pleasure to read and the special moments in it brought back so many memories of the sweet pets we’ve all had over the years. The best part is the ending!

Reading “Jack the Dog” brought back boyhood memories of my own youth. The unconditional love, the playfulness and protective nature of Jack as told by Victor Brodt are all of the things that I experienced with every dog our family owned. And what I still experience with the dogs I have today. The story telling is excellent and reminds me of the times that I had growing up on a farm in rural Maryland right down to the hard working parents and the Cub tractor which my father still owns. And the message of unconditional love comes through very clearly to me. Because of this “Jack the Dog” is a wonderful book for children and adults. A great bedtime or story hour book. Mr. Brodt has done a wonderful job writing about what it’s like to love something uncconditionally, have it returned and how beautiful it is.

What a wonderful story and the title is perfect,not, “A boy and his dog Jack”, but “Jack the Dog: And his boy” This story teaches you to breathe in the here and now so they become treasured memories.I suggest this book be done in school binding and placed there!

Victor Brodt has created a magical growing-up story in his well-written tales of living with delightful, rambunctious, all-knowing Jack, Victor’s black Labrador Retriever from his childhood days.

This is a book everyone, animal lover or not, should put on their lists of “must read”. Buy it now!!
