This is a great book for students to make a connection with, especially if they are dog owners. Even if they are not, it is still a highly entertaining book. I would use this book as a text for guiding writing workshop. Specifically this book can be used to talk about the author's voice and sentence structure.

I love this book because of how humorous it is! The illustrations really bring this story to life. It is about a dog writing letters to his owner asking her to take him out of obedience school. I would use this book as the perfect way to talk about persuasive writing. It is also good for showing students the structure of a letter.
