The four of them are especially close to Roro, their human handler who recruited and trained them for their mission in space. His team also consists of Daisy, the Great Dane puppy who is already as strong as an ox Bug, the Corgi genius who helps in Engineering and Champion, the captain’s loyal Golden Retriever who also serves as leader of the Barkonauts. Our protagonist is a terrier mix named Lopside, who fought hard against the odds to make it into the Barkonauts program despite his small size. As a result, dogs can also be taught to do so much more. Thanks to technological advancements, the vocalizations and behaviors of dogs can be translated into human language, allowing communication between the two species. This book was just too darn cute!īilled as The Incredible Journey set in space, the story follows a team of four scrappy and adorable canine Barkonauts as they travel aboard the colonization ship Laika as companions and specially trained helpers to the human crew. Middle Grade fiction isn’t an age category I typically go for, but I’m a big fan of Greg Van Eekhout and when I saw the premise of Voyage of the Dogs I just couldn’t resist.
