This story could be defined as the exploitation of an anecdote. It is easy to read and enjoyable, almost like a tale about fidelity. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Received this book from Early Reviewers program. It took me a while to get into this story, the first part of the book seemed to lack something, not sure exactly what. Parts of it seemed more embellished outline than real story. But then I felt like it improved, the second half was very good and heart rending. This is the story of Barchen, a dog who follows his master from Chicago off to fight in the Civil War. Told more or less from Barchen's point of view, it tells of his various adventures good and bad as the war goes on around him. I think this was written as more or less a Middle School children's story. I would recommend this book for older teens on up. Based on a true story. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I enjoyed this book. It is an interesting book about one man and his dog's journey as a Union soldier during the civil war. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"An engaging, touching, and heartbreaking adventure." -Kirkus Review When German-born Louis Pfeif leaves home to join the Fifty-Eighth Illinois Infantry Regiment in 1862, his dog accompanies him. At Chicago's Camp Douglas, Bärchen charms Louis's fellow officers-even Colonel Lynch. As the Civil War escalates, the unit is transferred to Tennessee and placed under the command of General Lew Wallace. Shortly afterward, they come under fire at Erin Hollow. Bärchen proves his mettle-remaining by Louis's side amid the boom of cannon and the rattle of musketry. Then one morning the two are thrust onto a battlefield, where one will die and the other must learn to carry on. Based on a true story and the history of the Fifty-Eighth Illinois, The Faithful Dog powerfully illustrates the unwavering bond of devotion between dogs and their humans.

Bärchen rapidly proves himself a loyal companion and endears himself to all he meets. When his regiment is transferred to Tennesse Lois and Bärchen find themselves under fire at Erin Hallow. When one of them falls during a battle it is up to the other one to survive.
This book is based on a true story. It was a quick read; I would say it is written more for middle school age children. It was a cute book and I enjoyed it overall. ( )
