'Not all dogs can become the Pharaoh's dog. You have to earn that position the same way my father and I did.' In the Pharaoh's courtyard, a litter of puppies was born. Known as Pharaoh hounds, they were prestigiously bred and carefully chosen to grace the halls of the palace. But Gaza was born the runt of the litter. Protected fiercely by his mother and bullied by his brothers, Gaza has had a hard time proving himself until the day he is chosen to be the pet of Princess Antiti. From that moment, Gaza is poised to earn the coveted position of Pharaoh's dog, but a chase through the marketplace and out of the city soon has him lost in the desert with little hope of finding his way home. After making friends with a mongoose, joining a pack of jackals, and comforting a fallen outrider, Gaza learns about the way of life in the Egyptian desert. To find his way home, Gaza must learn who he is and test his moxy to the utmost in a battle with a crazed hyena and even his own littermates. Join Barbara Jean Aarons as she shares the exploits of the small but determined Gaza, and learn whether he has what it takes to become The Pharaoh's Dog. Barbara Jean Aarons is a retired breeder and avid lover of Pharaoh Hounds. She has two sons and resides in Minnesota.
