I am a cat person. Even so, I appreciate and enjoy dogs, and I love heroic adventure starring animals of all sorts. Kilgore has taken everything doggie and lovable about dogs and set it against a bizarre, apocalyptic event that destroys almost the entire human population of earth. Dogs have been man's best friend and companion for eons; but what are they without their people (or "Belongings," as the dogs call them)? Well, for a long time, they are lost. Lost Dogs is the story of the aftermath of an ongoing event that changes everything, the dogs who are left wandering and unbelonging, and the gradual transition to finding themselves once again in the new reality.The far-and-away star of this book is the dogs' personalities. Buddy, the German shepherd protagonist, is a good, solid citizen. Full of love, common sense, and the instinct to be vigilant and responsible, he struggles to hold everything together, survive, and safeguard the increasing number of other lost dogs who fall in with him and his beagle-mix housemate, Sally. Sally is sweet and sensible but prone to wander and lose her way. They are joined by neighbor Pomeranians, Penny and Poppy, who are simply hilarious. Then there's Jake and Lil and too many others to mention in this review.
The world-changing event itself is never fully explained. Sometimes alien, sometimes almost rhapsodic, and at one point sentient even, it lends itself to any number of reader interpretations. It plays the role of both antagonist and setting, an oppressive and unpredictable backdrop against which the drama plays out. It provides food for thought as well as the impetus that sets the quest in motion.
Buddy and his companions will cheer you, horrify you, break your heart, and make you laugh out loud. Wonderful book.

Lost Dogs edition by Kenton Kilgore Children eBooks Reviews
At first I had some issues with the construct of "dog language" used to help tell this story from the pets' POV, but once I got past that and into the rhythm of the story, I found it a mesmerizing, heartbreaking adventure. It really reinforces how much our behaviour impacts our animals, with hints of Animal Farm as they have to learn to live in their own world.
This is one of those rare books that is a nice, easy, relaxing read and yet leaves you deeply moved by the time you get to the end. It is well-written and intensely engaging - I wasn't able to put it down until I finished it (at almost 4am)!
This was a excellent book!! I didn't put it down until it was finished. This is the story of a alien invasion through the viewpoints of dogs. Most of the humans are dead and it is time for the dogs to learn to care for themselves. Very intriguing book. I recommend this book to everyone.......
My best friend is a dog. I hate to leave anywhere without him. Buddy reminds. Me of him. The book is entertaining and makes you think too. You. Will probably never look at your dog the same way again. A food book, ending could start book two
Just spent all day reading this well written - thoughtful - book. I also shopped yesterday at the Food Lion on Kent Island. I will never look at the Food Lion quite the same - and I will look forward to future work from this talented author. You don't need to live on the Eastern Shore or currently own a dog to find this take on "Lost Dogs" thoughtful and well worth your time.
Great job!
I don't like dogs, despite rumors to the contrary. They're noisy, smelly, and - worst of all - needy. Mr. Kilgore captures all of that beautifully in this book. So beautifully I began to care about Buddy, the protagonist of this tale, who is - sad to say - a dog. Buddy barks, he leaves smelly spoor behind, and he needs. He needs with a horrible heart-rending longing to find his owners, his "belongings" as he thinks of them. The background story of an apocalyptic alien invasion is not new, as the author is quick to admit. However, showing us this event through the eyes of an abandoned pet, desperately seeking his missing family, gives it a fresh twist that helps to keep the reader engaged.
I've been following Mr. Kilgore's amateur and professional writing for close to twenty years. He has never failed to entertain me with the tales he's had to tell and this book, despite initial trepidation on my part, was no exception.
I never read Watership Down but I understand that Lost Dogs was written in that style - where the reader is immersed in the language and the culture of the protagonist. For me it was a charming aspect of the story that made it different from other YA work today. It was helpful to have a glossary, however on a it was cumbersome to refer to during reading (this is a drawback of , not the novel). I found the story enjoyable and a fairly quick read. It was sad and lonely and still had some of the popular aspects of a dystopian world without the emo goth feel that a lot of YA today tends to have. The only part I had issue with was the intense detail of the journey throughout Kent Island. For someone not familiar with the geography, I found the details to be a little pandering to the locals. I had to use a map of the island to get my bearings - perhaps a revision could include a map in the book?
