A review by jaredpence
Scrub Dog of Alaska by Walt Morey

3.0

Though at times slow and plodding, this book was surprisingly engaging. I found the emotional plot points powerful and was engrossed in the anti-racist commentary. However, I struggled to appreciate the shifting viewpoint of different characters--both human and animal. And I found the unrelenting machismo and gruff masculinity (the novel consistently celebrates physical strength, violence, and harsh obstinacy) problematic.
