About this ebook
In this exciting, dog-focused middle grade series, when all the humans in his world disappear, Max—a yellow Labrador Retriever—begins the search for his family.
Max knows that if he can just find Madame Curie, a wise, old black Lab, she'll be able to help. Madame had a premonition of astonishing events to come—she might know where Max's family is.
But Max can't make the journey alone. Joined by friends Rocky and Gizmo, Max sets off to find Madame. Along the way, the trio must face a pack of angry wolves, forage for food in a land where kibble is akin to gold, befriend a house full of cats, and outsmart a gang of subway rats. Ultimately, they'll have to escape from the biggest threat of all: the Corporation, a "perfect" society for dogs and by dogs, where nothing is quite as it seems.
The Last Dogs: The Vanishing is a thrilling adventure and a tale of three unlikely friends on an epic quest to find their people—and bring them home.

Read this book with my son, for AR points for school, not only did we love the book, it kept us interested in the book. We are both looking forward to reading the other books, for a summer reading project.

I love the last dogs. I currently am on the third book. This book deserves a Newberry honor medal. You may think that it shows cruelty to animals but it does not. Read this book, it is awesome . It is funny and a mystery.

My daughter picked this book out because of the picture on the cover. She is 9 years old. She started reading this book a while ago and put it down. Then later I asked her to read to me from it and she got completely drawn into the story again. She is almost done with it and is dreading already that she doesn't have book 2 yet. I am amazed that even a 9 year old can be so drawn into a book of this size. Her first "big read". Excellently written.
