Canadian Author.
From the back cover: "Farley Mowat's best-loved book tells the splendidly entertaining story of his boyhood on the Canadian prairies. Mutt's pedigree was uncertain, but his madness was indisputable. He climbed trees and ladders, rode passenger in an open car wearing goggles and displayed hunting skills that bordered on sheer genius. He was a marvelous dog, worthy of an unusual boy growing up in a raw, untamed wilderness."

Just started reading this one and hope to have it finished before the end of September to release in the You're Such An Animal Release Challenge.

This book was written in the '50's and the author reflects back to his boyhood growing up in the '20's/'30's on the prairies of Saskatchewan and in small town Ontario with the dog who helped shape the person he became. It is definitely "50's style" writing and I'm not particularly a fan of dogs or of hunting on the prairies, however Farley Mowat is a skilled author with an entertaining and often humourous literary style that kept my interest. I wanted to read this one as he is a Canadian Author I hadn't read previously, and I'm glad I took the time to do so.
