I'm not sure specifically which 'good dog bad dog story' you mean. It could be about two dogs with different behaviors, one being good and the other bad. Maybe the good dog is friendly, obeys commands, and is kind to people, while the bad dog is naughty, bites or barks a lot.
I'm not sure specifically about the reviews and ratings of 'A Bad Dog, A Love Story' as I haven't read it. But generally, reviews can be influenced by many factors like the plot, the character development of the dog and the human characters, and the writing style. If the story has a heart - warming plot about a dog that might be considered 'bad' but turns out to be loveable, it could get good reviews.
There is a dog named Charlie who is very naughty. Charlie's bad behavior is that he likes to run away. Every time the gate is left open a bit, he dashes out. One time, his owner took him for a walk in the park. As soon as he saw a squirrel, he broke free from his leash and ran after it. His owner spent hours looking for him in the park. Luckily, a kind person found Charlie and called the number on his collar. After that incident, his owner was more careful and got a stronger leash and a better harness to prevent Charlie from running away again.
One common theme could be morality. The good dog might symbolize moral behavior like honesty and the bad dog immoral behavior such as lying. For example, if there's a situation where the good dog returns a lost item and the bad dog tries to keep it for itself.

A dog named Daisy had a bad behavior of stealing food. Whenever there was food left unattended on the table or counter, she would find a way to get it. One day, the family had a big dinner and left some delicious roast chicken on the table while they went to get some drinks. Daisy jumped on a chair and then onto the table and grabbed the chicken. By the time the family came back, all they saw was Daisy with a guilty look and the empty plate. They realized they had to be more careful with their food and start training Daisy not to steal.
Expect the reviews to be mixed if the concept of a 'bad dog' is not well - defined in the story. However, if the story delves deep into the psyche of the dog and the human - animal bond, it could sway the reviews towards the positive side. The ratings might also depend on how relatable the story is. If people can see their own experiences with pets in the story, they are more likely to rate it highly.
I heard of a dog boarding horror story where the boarding place had a flea infestation. The dog got covered in fleas during its stay. When the owner picked it up, they were horrified to see the dog constantly scratching and found fleas all over it.
