Today, I am reviewing the book "The Last Dog On the Hill" written by Steve Duno. This book tells the story about the life of the author's dog Lou. Lou was found along the road as the author was traveling with his then girlfriend. He took Lou home, and Lou pretty much destroyed his home. This led Steve Duno to start training Lou, and Lou was an excellent student. Steve enjoyed dog training so much that he walked into a dog training school and asked for a job. He used Lou to demonstrate his teaching ability. Over the years, Lou helped Duno train several dogs that were destined for euthanasia unless trained.
Lou and Steve also had many adventures together. They hiked through the mountains and went many places together. Lou helped foil a robbery at a store, and he also captured a criminal. Later in life, Lou worked with hearing impaired children to motivate them to learn sign language.
This is a well-written book that I enjoyed very much. Lou was part rottweiler, and this reminded me of my Dad's rottweiler Abraham. I bought Abraham from a Jewish man who named the three males in the litter Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Abraham was a nice dog. Toby couldn't stand him, and Abraham just couldn't understand why that little dog didn't want to play with him.
