Book of the Week: A Dog's Way Home by Bobbie Pyron
Abby’s best friend is her beloved Shetland sheepdog, Tam. The two are always together, and they even compete in agility competitions (which they usually win because they seem to read each others’ minds). On the way home from a competition in Virginia, however, a horrible accident on the treacherous Blue Ridge Parkway separates Abby and Tam. Abby is sure that her precious dog is still alive and trying to find his way back to her…all the way home to Harmony Gap, North Carolina. Even when Abby and her family move to Nashville (something Abby is not happy about), she never loses hope that she will be reunited with Tam one day.
Tam is lost and alone for the first time in his life. He has only two goals: survive and find his way back to his girl. As Tam makes his way south toward where he’s sure he’ll find Abby, surviving is becoming more difficult. Winter is on its way, and Tam must rely on all his instincts–and the help of some surprising new friends–to live through the season. As the days, weeks, and months pass, Tam begins to forget much about his old life as he becomes more like a wild animal and less like the pampered dog he once was. But, somehow, he always remembers that he belongs somewhere else, and he is doing everything he can to get back to the place–and the girl–that is his true home.
Both Abby and Tam are facing new situations and dangers they never expected, but these two friends have a bond that transcends everything. It’s this bond that helps both of them hope for the day when they’ll see each other again. Even though hundreds of miles separate them, Abby and Tam are determined to find each other…and they’ll stop at nothing to make that happen. Find out how Tam makes his way home to Abby’s welcoming arms when you read A Dog’s Way Home by Bobbie Pyron.
