Bulu African Wonder Dog

Review by Nathan:

Note:  This is a true story. 

Bulu was the runt of his litter in Zambia.  He is adopted by Steve and Anna Tolan who are starting a wildlife education center.  They are told that a pet dog will not survive in Zambia due to the many dangers, but the Tolans are determined.  Bulu eventually becomes wise in the ways of Africa and becomes a guard dog.   Bulu also becomes a foster parent to the many types of animals that are cared for by Steve and Anna.  Bulu has many life and death encounters with African wildlife  including a spitting cobra, elephant, crocodile and tetse flies.  But his worst encounter was with two lions when  Bulu stood against them to protect two of his warthog "daughters."   Will Bulu survive or not?

Personal review by Grace:

       The book Bulu is fascinating. As we read the book I looked forward with anticipation to see what adventurers lay ahead for Bulu and his friends. I also enjoyed a peek at South African life.
