Rose in a Storm by Jon Katz is a unique novel. It tells the story of Sam, a farmer in Upstate New York, and his border collie Rose. It is told in third person yet focus on Rose's perspective for the most part. The story begins as the farm is about to be hit by a blizzard that is unlike any storm that anyone has seen for a very long time. It creates many challenges for Sam and Rose which revolve around their survival and that of the farm and animals on it. Katz does a magnificent job of painting the picture of a "working" dog on a farm through Rose's eyes and mind. He does not give the animal a human voice but Rose thinks and acts in a way that is distinct to dogs based on Katz's research on the subject. It is fascinating to see how instinct, memory, and her "map" lead her to her various actions. I also found it very intriguing how she handled situations where she could not find any information from these sources on what to do. Katz really brings out her confusion and frustration in these situations. In addition to herding the sheep, cows, goats, etc. on the farm, Rose also has to fend off predators too. The elements and nature present no shortage of obstacles for Rose and Sam. Katz also illustrates the relationship between these two over the course of the novel, and I found the progression to be touching. I found that Katz also managed to strike an emotional chord with me as I read the story. The ending is satisfying, and I highly recommend this to anyone who loves dogs or life on the farm.
