No! I have a funny story about that book actually. In 6th grade we had the option to read that or All Creatures Great and Small. If enough kids picked each bk we’d have 2 reading groups, otherwise majority rules. WTRFG is much shorter. It was winning. I knew what happened in that bk. I asked the teacher how many we needed. She said 8. We had 5. I sidled up to 3 friends & let them quietly know what happened to the dogs. My teacher was not pleased, but I didn’t spoil it for the whole class.
