LaVonna Moore does a great job of helping us into Angel's head. Moore keeps Angel's needs and wants very basic which both makes it easy for kids to relate to and also somewhat realistic as dog wants/needs are probably not going to be complex and subtle. There are a number of instances in which Angel knows things a dog could not know, but the bulk of the time it is within the acceptable range of anthropomorphic children's literature. Some of the sentences are a bit choppy.

The story is simple but not so overly simple as to insult a young child's intelligence or attention span.
