My Life in Dog Years tells the story of Gary Paulsen's dogs and his childhood. Gary's parents were often drunk so Gary was on his own. Gary was interested in hunting, where he found a dog that later ran away. My favorite part of the book was when Gary met the dog while hunting and then the dog and Gary had an instant friendship. I am recommending My Life in Dog Years because it tells all about Gary Paulsen's dogs and this book is a biography. If you like this book, I recommend reading Guts, also by Gary Paulsen.
