The Epic Adventures of Little Red Dog is a story about a rescue dog's long and sometimes harrowing journey from a farm to his forever home in a Northern Kentucky suburb. It's a heartwarming tale of friendship, second chances, and the healing power of love.Based on a mixture of real events and fiction, The Epic Adventures of Little Red Dog describes the life of an excessively curious beagle who, as a very young puppy, loses his happy home after creating a ruckus in the henhouse and eating a Shepherd's pie that was to have been dinner for the farmer and his family.Driven to a lonely field and left to fend for himself, Little Red Dog is soon befriended by a wise mole named Kirby. This delightful creature - who speaks several languages and communicates across vast distances using a mole tunnel network - guides Little Red Dog as he travels in search of a loving family. When the little beagle is attacked and suffers a life-threatening injury, Kirby finds help and then, after his friend is placed in the care of animal shelter foster care volunteers, figures out a way to reunite with him miles and miles away.Young (and not-so-young) readers will delight in the characters that populate this simply illustrated book. They include Sally the Skunk, Penny the Porcupine, Three Paws the Cat, The Dog Named Little Chicken, and a cheeky squirrel who unwittingly imparts a lesson about The Circle of Life.The Epic Adventures of Little Red Dog is a kid-friendly but surprisingly worldly look at not only dog rescue, but the efforts of men and women and boys and girls to remake their lives. It's a delightful story, dedicated to animal rescue volunteers who help to adopt more than 3.2 million dogs and cats each year.Color interior.
