They have all made poor decisions, lived with their mistakes and their regrets, and are trying in their oh-so-human way to move on and do better. Their initial hesitancy to get attached, and their growing, separate relationships with the dog, whom they call Buddy, also ring true. Mack is found by a couple, Alice and Ed, who have never quite gotten over the loss of their teenage daughter. Their relationship is well-developed, explained well, and rings true. The two have a very strong bond and are talented Canine Freestyle dancers.
The human characters are real, too.ĭuring a cross-country drive, Mack gets separated from Justine, his person. The dog, Mack / Buddy, is a Sheltie with a strong personality and viewpoint all his own. A book called The Dog That Danced might have languished, unread, on the shelf.
I am usually skeptical of books where the author speaks in the dog’s voice, but from its title, The Dog Who Danced, by Susan Wilson already had points in its favor.
