It was based on a true story, and many of you said you read it in middle school. It was actually on "this day in history" on Fox News around the same time. Thanks for any help.

Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

I think I did a book report on it. Good book. I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
