Two: Situational Awarness would have prevented that dog from being killed. Also, the dog would have been healthier if he had been fed bad guys, and there were plenty of bad guys to feed to the dogs.
Dogs should never have to starve post shtf. That and why, nowhere in the book, were chickens and eggs ever mentioned.
Other than that I kinda liked the book.
That's a perspective I hadn't thought about. My question is what happens when a dog gets a taste for human? Could you ever trust it? I don't know the answer so I am very curious. Keep in mind that we have the benefit of hindsight since this book was written. At the times the characters were still trying to come to grips with the fact that civilization as they knew it had come to an end.
In today's world one of the best things you can do for your child; Get them in Scouting, stay with them in the program, and encourage them to stay in.
