Rin Tin Tin : The Life And The Legend
by Susan Orlean

Do you remember watching Rin Tin Tin on television and in the movies? He was the most famous dog in the world.
Rin Tin Tin was discovered (as a puppy) in France during World War I by Lee Duncan who absolutely loved animals (more than people). Duncan brought the German shepherd back to America.
I wish I could say that I loved this book and that it was so heartwarming but that would be lying. In no time at all, I was bored. The tale is mostly about Duncan (not a very likeable fellow) and not too much about the dog. I found the most interesting parts (filler) to be about neither of them. Very early on, I stopped reading. I really didn't care for the writing style.
Not recommended.
