Zeus, Dog of Chaos

By: Kristin O'Donnell Tubb

Narrated by: Todd Haberkorn

Kristin O’Donnell Tubb, the award-winning author of A Dog Like Daisy, delivers another heartwarming must-read middle grade novel for dog lovers. Equal parts funny and poignant, this book from the point of view of the service dog, Zeus, is perfect for fans of Max and A Dog Called Homeless.

Zeus comes from a long line of heroic dogs, and he dreams of glory as a K9 commander. But he receives a much more dangerous assignment—middle school! And as all good service dogs know, the only way to get through hostile territory is by being invisible.

Zeus’s new human, Madden, is diabetic, and he wants to be invisible, too. That’s hard to do with a huge German Shepherd at his side to alert him when his blood sugar drops. And it’s even harder because Madden makes this noise called music that draws attention. Zeus’s mission becomes clear: he must destroy music.

While Zeus’s training prepared him for his most important job—keeping Madden safe—he discovers the human world is complicated. As Madden dreams of winning the state band competition and tries to reconnect with his mom, the lieutenant, Zeus must learn that, sometimes, you need to stand out to fulfill your duty.

Heartwarming and heartwrenching

I am writing this review through big alligator tears. I have always believed service dogs were "outstanding" My great niece has Type 1 diabetes so I was completely drawn into this story. I laughed and giggled while listening to this book from a dog"s perspective. I am totally admired with you your book. I am honored by the love that was described in this story. THANK YOU YOU ARE ONE OF GOD'S BLESSINGS WITH YOUR GIFT OF WRITING.

Kid with diabetes

I’ve been searching for a book with a character that has diabetes. My niece was diagnosed two years ago and headed into fifth grade. She is going to be so excited when I read this book with her because she will be able to connect with the character more than most books she reads. Great job learning about how diabetes works and the equipment used for it. It’s mostly accurate.

I’m also a fifth grade teacher and will be introducing this book to my students this year.
