Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Young Maggie, one of the volunteers at the Wild At Heart Animal Clinic, has a knack for caring for and understanding animals, especially dogs. She has just started junior high school and hates every minute of it. That is, until she meets her biology teacher, Mr. Carlson, and his Seeing Eye dog, Scout. Maggie suddenly can't believe her good luck—a dog in school AND in her class. What could be better than that? Maggie soon learns through careful observation that Scout and his blind master haven't formed the crucial bond of trust that they need to manage everyday life. Using her experience of practically growing up in a veterinary clinic with her grandmother, Maggie is certain that she can help the two by working with them and offering tips to Mr. Carlson about how to relate to Scout. Progress is slow, frustrating and steady until an unforeseeable accident solidifies the bond in a way nothing else could. Readers will learn a great deal about guide dogs and their training. They will also be exposed to veterinary medicine via informal, interesting text. This is an easy read with a typical plotline, but also highly enjoyable, perhaps because the characters are likable and easy to relate to. This American Girl book is part of the "Wild at Heart" series. 2001, Pleasant Company, $4.95. Ages 8 to 12. Reviewer: Trina Heidt

    An Awesome Story!

    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!

    GREAT BOOK!!

    Great book, I was shocked when I read that Scout and Mr.Clarson got hit by the careless driver, and whats even more shocking was that....I can't say any more you'll have to read the book to find out what happened.

    Awesome Book

    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.

    Great, Touching Book

    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!
