Born to Run
There was something inside the bag, squeaking and squealing in terror. Patrick didn't think about it. He leaped into the canal." For Best Mate, being rescued is only the start of his adventures. From unwanted burden to favourite companion, and from pet to champion race dog, this remarkable greyhound proves that it's not just cats who have more than one life. Cast aside, kidnapped, or living rough on the streets, Best Mate can always find a way to survive. But will he ever find a real home?

- This review is actually written by John Lahr. This book, Born to Run, was written by Bruce Springsteen.
Perhaps the title could be, John Lahr reviews Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen.
I honestly thought Bruce Springsteen, for some reason, was reviewing a different book by called, Born to Run which was written by Christopher McDougall about ten years ago.
