Gone Dog is a canine coming-of-age tale, a (mostly) lighthearted story for animal lovers of all ages. Puppins, a rescued black Labrador retriever, is a teenager (in human years). His adoptive mom has way too many rules, and she’s too busy to give Puppins the attention he deserves. He is a closet nerd, a consumer of too much people food, and he’s bored. Where’s the drama that Los Angeles is famous for? Along comes Ruby, a gorgeous Irish setter. Ruby has no use for rules or owners. She lives on the backstreets of L.A., and she is all about being free. If Puppins wasn’t such a wuss, he’d jump the fence and run off with her, says Ruby. So, he does. Bad choice. In the course of a twisted odyssey, Puppins gets ghosted, has an uncool meltdown, and narrowly escapes death. Then some truths emerge: Being homeless is harsh, no matter what species you are; and animals and good people, working together, can take down evil.Ultimately, Puppins has three universal teenage questions to resolve: Who am I? Where do I belong? and, What’s for dinner?Among Gone Dog’s diverse characters are a pranking feral cat; a disabled puppy mill survivor; a tribe of strays led by a runaway greyhound; a penitent Rottweiler seeking redemption; and a flock of undocumented immigrant parakeets. Note: The people in Puppins’ life are equally eclectic!

He’s bored, he’s a closet nerd, and he’s a teen (in human years). That’s Puppins, the rescued black Lab who narrates this canine coming-of-age tale. Puppins lives in L.A. with his “mom,” a workaholic who has way too many rules. Enter Ruby, an Irish setter born to run. Ruby is all about freedom. Puppins, in love, jumps the fence and runs off with her. Bad choice—he gets ghosted. Coming face-to-face with evil and narrowly escaping death, Puppins discovers that being homeless is harsh, no matter what species you are; and that love, friendship and family aren’t what he thought they were. GONE DOG’s cast includes a pranking feral cat; a disabled puppy-mill survivor; an ex-racing greyhound with a sanctuary for strays; a tiny white dog befriended by a homeless woman; and a flock of wild parakeets who could be undocumented immigrants. Note: The people in Puppins’ life are equally diverse!
