6/24/2023 0 Comments Review the story of edgar sawtelle![]() ![]() Yet at one visit to a doctor, Edgar is told to speak during the examination and Edgar croaks a word and the doctor is so displeased with the sound that he tells Edgar to speak no more. For example, Edgar’s inability to speak is unexplained other than saying doctors found no explanation. ![]() The fact that he is hiding with three large 90-pound dogs is in itself a bit hard to fathom, but I am an accepting reader and I let my imagination follow them through their trials and tribulations. Edgar must rely on survival skills with three dogs in tow as he goes into hiding in the forest. The story takes some twists and turns and quickly becomes a page turner. Edgar, an only child, is groomed (pardon the pun) to carry on the family business. This is what the Sawtelle family does for a living generation after generation. The dogs are raised and trained for 18 months before finding suitable homes. The Sawtelles breed and raise dogs with traits so carefully established that the breed is named for them, and for posterity. This is the story of Edgar Sawtelle, a mute boy, mute for unknown reasons, and his well-trained dogs. ![]()
