About This Book

The narrative follows a wolfhound from awkward puppyhood cared for by a kindly sheep-dog foster-mother through rites of training and separation, a sequence of human encounters and perils including circus life and clashes with dingoes, and a gradual drift between domestic loyalty and wild instincts. Episodes trace the hound's solitary journeys, formation and loss of packs, mating and parenthood, competitions and mortal conflicts, mountain den tragedies, and an eventual exodus that tests the bond between animal and human. The work alternates close naturalistic scenes with adventures across rural and frontier settings and concludes with the hound's complex return from the wild.
