Hi! I live in a small town smack dab in the middle of Washington state with my wife and three young daughters. I was lucky and grateful to be a teacher-librarian in an elementary school for 13 years, where I got to share awesome books with awesome kids. I love camping, cooking and traveling. I also play guitar (badly) and read (constantly). My house is always a mess. I am really pretty darn happy.

I've written five middle grade novels: THE REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF COYOTE SUNRISE, GOOD DOG, SCAR ISLAND, THE HONEST TRUTH, and SOME KIND OF COURAGE.

I ordered this for my 10 year old 5th grade son to read. We lost our beloved 120+ lb Bear about a year ago now, and he's still very missed by all of us. My 10 year old loved that dog like crazy, he still talks about him all the time. He was 12 when the cancer that he had started to affect his brain and he had to be put to sleep.I read part of the book before I gave it to my son to make sure I thought he could handle it. It's got it's parts that are just heartbreaking and it has it's happy parts, too. I think the happy outweighed the sad. My son read the book and he liked it. There were parts that made him cry but the parts that were happier made it worth reading for my son. He really dislikes reading but he did read this book. The fact that Brodie (the main character) loved "his boy" enough to go looking for him was what did it for my son. He thinks now that our Bear loved him and still does love him, even from Heaven. This is a great book for anyone from middle grade kids to adults. It even made me think about pets I've lost (even my 17 yr old cat just a week ago) and how much I love them, and hope they love me too even from Heaven.Here is a pic of my son with his favorite Bear - my son was a year and a half, and this was not posed. Bear was laying there and my son crawled over to him and got right up by his face.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming story of a dog who loves a boy
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018
Verified Purchase
Another great read for Gemeinhart fans. Though the language may be a bit simple for older readers, it's still a great story for kids and adults alike. The difficult topics of death, abuse, and letting go are intermingled with the meaningful lessons of friendship, faithfulness, determination, love, and hope in a way that's engaging and inspiring. The author does a fantastic job of creating a main character who is loyal to his boy and to his plight to save him. As a fan of The Honest Truth, I especially loved the unexpected connection Gemeinhart revealed between his first novel and this one. As a middle school teacher, I would recommend this book for advanced 5th grade readers and up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Story that Pushes Boundaries
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a beautiful, heartwrenching novel, but quite traumatic and dark for elementary students with its themes about dog abuse, child abuse and dog fighting. I find Good Dog more suitable for grades six and seven. It is a good Hi/Lo reader for upper middle and lower high school as well. As a librarian, I love this author's work, but I find he's pushing the boundaries more and more in his books. I do recognise that this is a good book for young readers to discover -- particularly if they have lost a dog.

Amazing story of grit, perseverance and sparkling hope for readers who love dog stories. I haven't cheered and rooted for a main character like this for a long time. Brodie will stick in my heart. I slowed down and savored the ending. This isn't one to miss!
