The book by the well-known Canadian writer Farley Mowat is an exciting, truly fun (narrative) story about an amazingly clever self-respecting dog named Matt, who became a worthy and full-fledged member of the Mowat family. The Mowats are big lovers of travel. This allows the author to give an expansive panorama of Canada’s animal and plant world. But the center of all events—and the cause of numerous funny incidents surrounding this family—always remains their four-legged friend. A dynamic plot, a lively style, and sparkling humor make this book interesting not only for children but for adults as well.
