Two older titles: Nop's Trials and Nop's Hope by Donald McCaig.
(I did have to peek ahead on the 1st title to make sure the dog
didn't die! -- I could hardly stand the suspense and was *so* afraid
something was going to happen to the dog. I rarely rarely do that.)
He also wrote a good nonfiction book called Emminent dogs,
dangerous men ( is that Dangerous dogs, emminent men -- boy,
is my brain is on space saver!). Story of how he went to Scotland
to find the "perfect" border collie.
Isn't it something how the dogs always seem to die? I can barely
read those.... BYE! Marla.

This is not in the same vein as the other recommendations but I really
liked the dog(s) in "Deerskin" by Robin McKinley. As a warning/spoiler
the dog does get seriously injured but eventually recovers nicely.

You'll probably get lots of answers on this one, Ellen.
yes, the dog dies -- I didn't read the whole book, but read the last
pages. (I'm one of those sissies cry babies who can't stand it when
the dog dies).
What I found *so* sad is that the dog commits suicide in a sense
because he is sure to find his master "on the other side" (quotes
are
mine). I almost read the book because of this different twist on the
dog's theology if you will, but I don't know -- still can't stand it
when the dog dies.... BYE!

I had forgotten about this one! And it's one of my favorites! No, the
dogs don't die in the end -- it has a pretty happy ending, all in all.
But this is another one I *had* to peek ahead to make sure the
dogs didn't die.
The theme of the book is kind of "dark" however. What originally is
done to the dogs upset me.... But I'm just an ole softie.... (brain,

I don't know if you're still interested in dog stories where the dog
does not die, but I came across the following title whilst doing
some weeding:
Tiger the Lurp Dog, by Kenn Miller. Set during the Vietnam War.
(And I peeked -- the dog is still active on the last few pages, altho'
he sounds alittle worse for wear.)
BYE!

HEY! what alternative ending? (-: I didn't know that. I guess I
read the happy ending. How can one tell which edition one has
picked up? This is very interesting. BYE! Marla

SPOILER--
I don't have a copy on the shelf to verify exact details, but as I
recall at about the next to last chapter either one or both of the dogs
get killed. Adams then says that since this is such a bad end to the
story, he will provide a different ending where the animals are OK and
find a home, which he then does.
