What character(s) in this book would you most and least like to be friends with, and why?
Dominic is a fun-loving dog who sets out into the world to seek his fortune (cliche). He soon finds that a dangerous gang called the Doomsday Gang are on the loose, and they trap him in a hole. He escapes and befriends an old pig named Badger. When Badger dies, he leaves his huge fortune to Dominic. The Doomsday are after the riches, and Dominic has to fight them off. Dominic meets many animals along his journey, and gives jewels to many of them. There was a Donkey who helped carry his jewels, a poor boar who was robbed before his wedding, a slow turtle who tried to lend a hand, and a friendly goose who was ambushed by the Doomsday Gang.
Later, on his way to the boar's wedding, he meets a tiny elephant who forgot a magic word that can make all his wishes come true. When the merry wedding is interrupted by the band of criminals, Dominic decides to finish them once and for all.
I would most want to be friends with the goose, because she is a friendly and fun creature. I would least want to be friends with the fox, because he is a sly, cruel, heartless creature. Though this book is a little below my reading level, I would highly recommend it. It is full of excitement and fun, and is a pleasant relaxing story.
