About This Book
A dog story you'll never forget...
Squirrel is not like most dogs. At first she has companions on her journey — her mother and her brother, Bone. But when they're separated, Squirrel must experience the world in a different way. As a stray, she must make her own way, facing busy highways, changing seasons, and humans who can be both friendly and cruel. It's a hard life for a dog . . . until Squirrel makes two friends who will change her life forever.
This is Squirrel's story, told in her own words. It is a story no reader will ever forget.
