GOOD DOG

With charm and heart, Lincoln Hoppe narrates this story of a very good dog. Brodie comes to consciousness with no understanding of who or what he is. As he regains his memory of his life as the beloved pet of a child named Aiden, Brodie realizes that he must risk his place in heaven to protect his boy. Hoppe creates appealingly distinct voices for the animals who are the main characters in this story. You can practically see the pit bull's friendly grin and the disgruntled house cat's feline sneer. A pack of hellhounds, led by the terrifying Darkley, is genuinely creepy. Despite a sometimes dragging pace, Hoppe's commitment to the story's sincerity will have listeners rooting for Brodie and his friends. N.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2018]
