About This Book

The narrative follows a large hound born of distinguished bloodlines, recounting his origins, the hardships of his mate's lone motherhood, and the formative training and trials that shape his character. Action moves from sheltered kennels and Downland life to arduous overland work on prairies and mountain trails, where team rivalries, fights, promotions, and losses test leadership, obedience, and loyalty. Close bonds with human companions, themes of maternal devotion, and the demands placed on working animals recur throughout, and the story concludes with a hard-won return to a settled home.
