I’ve been told to write this report for my sister’s therapist. Just as a reference or my perspective, I guess. I’m Dylan Kinley. My sister is the town-famous Carter Kinley, more notoriously known as “Dogface”. She rarely uses her real name since she’s so used to the name “Dogface”. The nickname has stuck ever since the incident happened sixteen years ago. I was with Dogface when it happened. She was seven back then and I was only five. We were visiting one of Mom’s friends during the summer, an odd couple who lived in the practically deserted area of Roxbury, Connecticut.
It all started with a dog. Yeah, I know, seems kinda stupid. A big fluffy dog ran up to my sister. And knowing her, she would, of course, pet it. I didn’t see what happened,

She looked a lot happier than she did before. There were stitches on her face, which wasn’t too bad, considering the bloody incident. The summer went by quickly. We stayed out of town for a while and didn’t return until school started. Dogface was in second grade at the time. She was very thrilled about going to school and wouldn’t lend me any of her pens, as much as I had pleaded.
It’s funny. Dogface’s given name is Carter yet she only uses it in legal or formal situations. She insists that acquaintances, friends, even family call her Dogface. It’s horrible. It’s almost as if she uses it to put herself down. Like a constant reminder that she’s not physically perfect, and never will be.
Dogface has talked about getting facial surgery before, but the expensive and commitment was too much for her. She never went through with it. Sometimes she still talks about it and bitterly laughs at her own expense. Sometimes she’s just a well of self-pity.
It’s really not healthy. I know that. But it’s so difficult to tell her things that she doesn’t believe. It’s easy to understand. You can’t exactly call her beautiful. She wouldn’t accept that. But Dogface truly is kinder than
In the book Webster: Tale of an Outlaw, written by Ellen Emerson White is about a dog who has had a rough time with finding the right home he went from being on a chain in ALL weather to another home where he was abused. Webster was taken to a shelter out on a farm with friendly people and animals they provided warm baked goods and soft cozy beds. When Webster introduced himself to the animals he says that he is a “bad hat” and tells them his plan to escape and be this amazing role model for other dogs. Webster meets a dog named Jack who is now his “acquaintance” instead of his “friend” because that would make him look like a nice guy when really he’s this tough big dog.
This particular dog clashed at Billy’s dogs with bad expectations and not long after, Old Blue is injured and Rubin is dead.

In fact, Clair spends a great deal of the book uncertain about whether she even likes Danny, more often than not pointing out his flaws and personality quirks that make her cringe rather than spending time on what she finds to be redeemable qualities. It isn’t until the end of the novel, when things take a turn for the worse, that she begins to truly feel sympathy for Danny and his situation. "To them, a dog was just another thing, like a barbecue grill or a fancy porch rocker, and it didn 't mean that they didn 't love the dog, it just meant they didn 't recognize a dog for what it was and what it needed." Anyone who loves stories with animals, or loves stories that touch your heart, or basically just loves stories in general, needs to pick up a copy of Monninger’s Whippoorwill. You’ll be a more compassionate person for reading it, not just to animals, but to the human condition.

What Cancer Took From Her “I spent five years of my life being treated for cancer, but since then I’ve spent fifteen years being treated for nothing other than looking different from everyone else.” (186).

It all started when Opal went to the grocery store, saw and dog and decided to rescue him. He was a stinky, ugly dog but Opal couldn’t stand the fact that he would have to go to the pound so she said that the dog was hers. Then, Opal brings the dog, she names Winn-Dixie home to see what her father, or “the preacher” has to say about him.

There were black labs, and blue merles, beagles, and terriers of all sorts. Abernathy was amazed until he saw a familiar face, Fred. Slowly walking around tail drooping and tongue hanging out of his mouth. He truly was a disgrace. Abernathy knew he would beat every dog there, but he relished the fact that he was going to get beat his ridiculously slow neighbor.

Listen. Give her my compliments. Okay? Why don't you go home, Mac? Not me.
At the age of nine I was a measly fifty-five pounds soaking wet. I remember arriving home after school to what looked to be a Clifford-sized beast. Cautiously, I approached this massive monster and when I got to five feet away he ran towards me and licked my face like the leftovers on your dinner plate. Turns out, this “beast” was a stray Rottweiler from a few miles over with no collar. Because of Winn-Dixie is a story by Kate Dicamillo that captures the love of a little girl and her new stray dog.
