Hey guys! I'm back with another review. Today I am reviewing "Beware of Dog." First of all let me tell you, I had this book for a long time. I got this book in fifth grade, and I've read it a million times. This is a reread. This is a series with six books. It is middle-grade and it was a nice break of reading YA books. This book also got me out of my reading slump. So, let's begin with the review!

The Plot: (goodreads summary)

Meet Thomas and his new best friend McGrowl--a courageous canine who's bionic to the bone!

When Thomas's loveable dog McGrowl is hit by a car, Thomas is heartbroken. But just when he thinks McGrowl will be lost to him forever, the mysterious vet Dr. Minderbinder steps in to save the day. After a strange operation, McGrowl is alive, but he has been changed forever. McGrowl now has super speed, super hearing, and superpowerful sight, smell, and strength -- and a few super-funny tics. Now Thomas and his bionic dog must take on the evil Dr. Minderbinder and foil his sneaky plans. Can this one-of-a-kind canine superhero save the day?

My Opinion:

Like I said before, this is a reread for me. I've read this book lots of times and I still love it to this day. :) The characters are awesome, and I can relate to them. I always wanted a dog, so I understood how Thomas was feeling. This book is so different, in a good way. A dog that has superpowers sounds amazing doesn't it? This is a series but the only other book I read in this series is the 5th book, and I was able to understand it. This book has villains of course, and was just so entertaining to read. This book is also very short. The writing is very cheesy, and there's actually alot of big words in this book, I don't even know. I recommend  all middle schoolers and younger kids to read this series like I did. Actually, I think any age should read this book. If you love animals read this book. It's just such a cute book. I like reading middle-grade books, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's nice to take a break from reading YA and Adult books. Overall, this is a great book and a great series, so if you love animals and want to read a middle-grade book, I recommend this book. Thanks for reading! Sorry this review is so short, it was perfect, I didn't have any problems with this book. I am so sorry guys. I just tried to upload and edit my video review on this book but something happened. My video froze throughout the whole thing. I don't know what happened. Should I refilm the review? I might. Please check out my YouTube Channel. Click on the link on the right of my blog. I am currently reading "Obsidian" and I love it so far. Happy Reading! :)
