About This Book

Discover the remarkable kinship between a girl and her dog, told through their alternating perspectives!On their way home from winning an Agility Championship, Abby and her Shetland sheepdog, Tam, are in a tragic accident. Tam's cage is thrown from the truck and gets swept away in a creek. Unable to find Tam, Abby and her family return to their home at the opposite end of the Blue Ridge Mountains, nearly 400 miles away. As the months go by, Abby's dreams and visions tell her that Tam is still alive, and she's determined to find him. Meanwhile, Tam faces one danger after another to get back to his beloved owner.
