A compelling story of a young spaniel puppy desperate to be loved. With a promise of becoming a "gundog" and working with the gamekeepers, Tinker's dreams are shattered when this does not happen. Dismissed and neglected, Tinker spends her puppyhood days alone in a kennel, except for a tiny orange creature who befriends her. After running away twice and creating havoc along the way, is Tinker in danger of being sent to the Dog Pound for good? The tiny orange friend appears in every picture with Tinker, but only special children can see him; will you?

After Tinker is banished from Ash Wold village for crimes she did not commit, she is threatened with the dog pound and has no idea where she will end up. The second chapter in her life begins.

Will her “cracking personality” win through and earn her the loving and caring home she so desperately seeks?
