I have always admired people who could rescue animals, and this story is no different.

“A Life Saved” is a beautiful story about a street dog with special needs who was saved by a loving young woman. The illustrations add value and fun to the story. A great read for middle school children.

Cutest story about a dog rescue and the road back to recovery. Rescuing a pup can be rewarding; rescuing a pup with special needs is a whole other level of helping. I loved the autobiographical nature of Dominica’s story and experience. It can be a hard road to recovery sometimes for our beloved pets and this story tells us just that. But with patience and love our animals will thrive again and lead happy lives.

The Adventures of Milo Chow, by Caroline Rayfield, is an informative and entertaining book. Through detailed descriptions and emotions that will pull at your heartstrings, Rayfield shows the reader the ups and downs of what is involved in adopting a rescue. Milo quickly wins over the hearts of the reader through his many adventures and challenges. The Adventures of Milo Chow is a great book to read to a class at the beginning of a school year. Just like students who are starting out in a new class feeling nervous and unsure, the author shows how Milo also needs to learn to trust and build connections with others. This book is best suited for older readers due to its length and complexity. The Adventures of Milo Chow is a wonderful read for anyone who is interested in embarking upon the rewarding journey of adopting a rescue.

I think my favourite part about reading this book is the way you can genuinely feel the love Milo and his mom have for one another. As a fellow animal lover, who has had the pleasure of a similar connection and experience with unconditional love, it truly puts me in the feels. It is filled with beautiful stories from Milos perspective (which I’d like to add is a nice touch I didnt expect) These stories, though Milos..include a set of different lives, that somehow make a beautiful mosiac of a family. A book about second chances, new learning experiences, family, acceptance, understanding and growth. I recommend it for any person who enjoys heart warming stories..anyone who is ready to smile a lot, with the possibility of shedding a tear or two. I also enjoyed the authors choice of words, which you will come to understand as you read the book and get acquainted with Milo and his perspectives. Just such a lovely book, that at its core is about the connections this young dog makes in his life and the love he has to share, and in turn receives. Finally, this book being aimed at a younger audience makes the stories easily digestible, which I find makes this book ever more impactful due to the fact the whole family can engross themselves in Milos world, albeit for a short but beautiful journey. Buy the book and spend a little time with with this pup. You won’t regret getting to know Milo Chow, Superstar

The story reflects the compassion the author, Caroline Rayfield, has for animals who need extra care. It also shows children the importance of being kind to other children particularly if they have a disability.
