This is another enjoyable tale from Joyce Stranger, who is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

Jason is the result of an accidental breeding, a dog that no one wants. He finds himself owned by a man who cares nothing for him, but only feeds and houses Jason as a deterrent for burglars and thieves.

One day, Jason leaves and begins to wander, looking for someone to call his own, someone he can love.

As usual, the author has shown us a bit of the people and animals of Great Britain, this time from islands just off the west coast of Scotland. She writes with knowledge, and kindness, and love of her subject. "Jason, Nobody's Dog" is a quick read, not fluff, but a thoughtful story of love lost, and not just by Jason. Suitable for adolescents and adults, and recommended. ( )
