One minute stray pup Joey is playing happily with his brothers and sisters and snuggling close to their mother, the next he finds himself in a cardboard box at the animal shelter. It’s scary enough without the stories he hears about mysterious disappearances of other dogs who have shared his situation. But Joey’s no quitter, and he’s about to embark on the first adventure of his young life. With a little help from his friends – Mick, his cagemate at the shelter; Dumpster, the street dog who teaches him about survival; and Marjorie, the shelter volunteer determined to help him – Joey learns the most important things for a dog are a home and people to love. But how can a big, black, untrained dog find a home? Nicholas Read’s sensitive portrayal of Joey’s dilemma, and blossoming strength, make him an endearing hero and a lesson for young readers in how to care for a dog.
