When a storm at sea causes a shipwreck, the captain's injured dog finds its way to shore where the young daughter of the lighthouse keeper rescues and befriends it.
From Publishers Weekly
Based on an incident that occurred in 19th-century coastal Maine, Perrow's homespun tale centers on a sea captain's dog that survives a shipwreck. After a panicked sailor pushes him away from a tipping lifeboat, the injured pooch bravely swims to shore. Sarah, a lighthouse keeper's daughter, finds him, nurses him to health, names him Seadog and "together they worked, they played?companions glad and true." Two years later the sea captain returns and tries to reclaim his pet. But faithful Seadog leaps off the captain's rowboat, swims back to Sarah and "gaze
at her with trusting eyes." Sappy, cliche-riddled writing undermines the situation's inherent child appeal, as does the use of a chorus-like refrain, set off from the main text, which issues such silly ditties as "He was a good dog,/ a brave dog,/ a trying-to-save-himself dog,/ a sea dog" and "Sarah was a lonely girl,/ a roving girl,/ a looking-for-a-friend girl,/ a lighthouse girl." Harris's characters sometimes appear wooden and her perspective can be oddly skewed, but her primitive-style paintings offer a pleasing portrayal of Maine's picturesque coast. These images, along with the historical roots of Perrow's tale, may draw a regional audience for the book. Ages 5-8.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Based on a true story of a dog that survived a shipwreck off the coast of Maine in the 1800s, this is an affecting tale told in a somewhat amateurish style. Lying wounded on the rocks after being washed ashore, the animal is rescued by a lighthouse keeper's daughter, who nurses him back to health. Seaboy, as she names him, becomes her constant companion and remains with her even after the sea captain returns to the island and discovers that his dog is still alive. The full-color paintings have an old-fashioned charm in keeping with the story, but the rhymes about Seaboy and the girl that appear every few pages seem like an afterthought and detract from the narrative.
