If you could choose anyone in the world to provide the voice of a scrappy little stray dog, who else would you choose but Danny Devito? (I'm given to understand he provided the voice for Bob in the film adaptation of The One and Only Ivan but I haven't seen it yet) Right from the start this audio book is engaging and charming. This volume gives us much more insight into the loveable scamp Bob from the first book, a stray who doesn't trust people and insists he is best on his own. This book shows us a Bob who has found a home but still doesn't fully trust anyone. The immediacy of a natural disaster and intense physical threats forces him to address the hurts of his past and find a way to move forward. This is a nice companion piece to the first book and presents trauma through a different lens.
