Relation Conducive To Books Sophie: Dog Overboard

As Jan and Dave Griffith motored out of Mackay Marina on their boat, Honey May, it was just another day in paradise. A weekend's sailing around the islands with Sophie, their blue cattle dog, and then home.

But out at sea, the unthinkable happened. Sophie disappeared overboard and despite Jan and Dave's frantic search efforts, their beloved family pet was presumed lost at sea. For Jan and Dave it was hard to imagine ever getting over her loss.

What followed is a truly extraordinary story of survival, luck and loyalty. The bonds between animals and humans are mysteriously strong and, in this case, a canine Robinson Crusoe was determined to beat the odds to return to her family - she was never going to be anyone's dog but theirs!

Criticize Appertaining To Books Sophie: Dog Overboard

Great true story about a blue cattle dog who falls off a boat in QLD, swims to a distant island, and survives alone for 5 months before being reunited with her family.However, the writing is pedestrian, repetitive and too detailed on superfluous themes.I wish I read an article about Sophie rather than a 300 page book.

I got around halfway in this book and just didn't feel like reading it anymore. I knew that the dog was going to survive, and it's not like the dog can tell us what she was up to the whole time on that island. I agree with other reviewers - the details in the writing just were unnecessary and I would skim through several pages without really reading anything. I rarely say this (I usually say the opposite) - but I actually think this story would make a better movie than a book. Think "Marley

This was a present, and as I have a cattle dog, I was excited to read blue heeler propaganda - the story is really quite nuts.On the actual book, though, I don't know what to say about the writing. Given the author's bylines, I have to assume she can write, but the text was head-smackingly simple and grammatically odd. The details were at times mind-numbing, especially the amount of speculation ("while no one knows how long sophie spent on that island, she could have bathed in the sun and maybe

Extremely long windedFive stars to the dog and what she went through but the book was so drawn out, lots of guesswork, unnecessary detail and so repetitive. It's a shame, if the book was 50 percent shorter it would have been so much better.

Dave and Jan took their blue cattle dog out on their boat, Sophie disappears in a matter of moments to their disbelief, naturally, they search for her, but due to the weather they finally must give up. Torn apart with grief, they return home devastated. But even in this day and age, miracles DO happen, somehow Sophie not only manages to survive in the shark infested waters, but she comes ashore on an island about 5 nautical miles from where she went overboard. No one will ever know how Sophie

This is a wonderful story of an incredible dog, a theme that is always a crowd pleaser. The writing is a bit amateurish (her first book), but very readable. For a while, I never thought we would get to the story. Granted, knowing Sophie before her journey, was important--how she was raised, how loved she was, etc. But it began to seem like a proud dog owner gushing about their special dog when it took up the first half of the book. But, being a proud dog owner myself, I sort of understand; it's

The story and the dog are adorable. The writing is horrifically bad. It is so bad that I didn't want to even finish the book, which almost never happens. I love dogs and enjoy stories like this in general, but this book was absolutely terrible. I couldn't recommend it.
