Further comments upon Dog Walker simply by Karen Spafford-Fitz
The guide is set inside the Garneau as well as Strathcona places associated with Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada, although as seems typical within the Currents series, the metropolis itself is not named.
Landmarks such as Whyte Avenue, the actual university of Alberta, as well as the Butterdome are
named and also clearly find the particular action, however it can appear odd that the town itself can
be never mentioned.
3. The opening chapters, along with Turk's workaholic father, by-the-book mother, and the introduction
to the cockapoo Gretzky, tend to be hilarious, arousing an instant sympathy for that protagonist.
The plot kinks are generally believable and also amusing, and furthermore the modifications in
Turk's attitudes in direction of dogs, exercise, Carly, along with existence are generally sustained
through the action. Overall, a satisfying read.
