He loves his life with Patrick until two animal smugglers come and capture Best Mate and take him away to be raced against other greyhounds. The racer’s daughter, Becky, soon learns the ugly truth about retired greyhounds and runs away with Best Mate, whom she calls Brighteyes.
But life in the streets is a horrible nightmare. Brighteyes and Becky have some trouble (I won’t spoil it with details) and Brighteyes must start yet another life …
This is the only book I have ever read that made me cry. I just felt so sorry for Patrick, Becky, and Best Mate himself. This book is awesome and I reccomend it to year 6 students and up - I'm year 8 and I cried while I read it!
[You weren't the only one to have a sniffle with this book Sam! Ms. Hill :(]
I give it a good 10/10 :)
