July of 2014 marks the 100 year anniversary of the beginning of World War I in Europe. Soldier Dog puts readers into the time of World War I while also telling the suspenseful and sometime heartbreaking story of a boy and his dog. After his abusive father pushes him to the edge, Stanley runs away from home and joins the British Messenger Dog Service. Stanley's job is to train dogs to deliver messages on the battlefield. Can Stanley give his heart to a dog that might be killed in action? I highly recommend this book to readers who like action, plot twists and animal stories!!
