DOGTOWN

Narrator Cassandra Morris creates a youthful and energetic voice for Chance, a dog who lives in a shelter called Dogtown that houses both living dogs and robotic dogs. Chance befriends one of the robot dogs, named Metal Head. As they both hope to find better lives, Morris captures Chance's upbeat attitude, even as she reveals the tragic events that brought her to Dogtown in the first place. Musical interludes play between chapters, helping to define the short segments. Sound effects, such as dogs barking, set the scenes. Listeners and dog lovers alike will cheer on Chance as she sets off on the ultimate adventure to find her way home. M.D. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2024]
