Vet Volunteers Teachers Pet is a great story about guide dogs and blind people. This is one of my favorite books and I enjoy it very much. The story is very hard at the beginning and very exciting in the end. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series. I highly recommend this story for kids who love to read as much as I do!

I loved this book. I've always liked books about animals, as well as books about people who have handicaps-like Maggie's teacher. Out of all the Wild at Heart books, I like this one the best.

As young Maggie MacKenzie adjusts to her new middle school surroundings things seem to get more enjoyable with her blind teacher Mr. Carlson and his seeing eye dog Scout. The bad thing is that Scout and Mr. Carlson don't seem to understand eachother, and Mr. Carlson is going through bonding with Scout, while adjusting to his first year back in teaching. Maggie sees the problem, and knows she can help (being the granddaughter of a vetrenarian and having a vet clinic in her house.) Things are going great until a car accident causes some comotion. Will Scout survive the accident? Will Mr. Carlson survive? You'll have to find out. This was my favorite book out of the series! You must read it!
