"The Good Dog" by Avi is a poignant story narrated from the perspective of a golden retriever named McKinley. Living in the snowy wilderness of a small town in New England, McKinley takes pride in his role as a protector and companion to his owner, a boy named Will. When Will goes missing, the bond between McKinley and his human is tested as the dog embarks on a courageous journey to find him. Throughout his quest, McKinley encounters various challenges and creatures that shape his understanding of loyalty, bravery, and the true essence of being a good dog.
