The story centers around a pet dog who becomes lost and an excerpt from the dust jacket reads: "In an exciting story told with great compassion and a deep understanding of both people and animals, the little dog eventually finds security and a warm companionship and mutual trust The human characters who take part are obliquely revealed as they relate to the little dog, and, as the story evolves, a deeper meaning emerges and gives it striking universality"

Sobre Stanley Louis Remarkable Books (IOBA)
Seller of high quality books and ephemera, emphasizing older and unusual items, such as signed or association copies. I try to offer the kind of books, at fair prices, that appeal to me, hoping that they will appeal to others also.
