Request #462 From Kyle

I’m looking for a book that I read in the late ’80s or very early ’90s. I got it in the children’s section of our local library and it was a relatively thin paperback. I don’t remember too much about it except for a little boy finds a stray dog in a field. It turns out that the dog is somewhat telepathic and is actually an alien. I don’t remember the details but I believe the boy helps save the dog from some bad forces who are searching for it. But this is about all I have. If you or your followers have any idea what this book might be I can’t tell you how much I would appreciate it
