THE FLYBALL 5: The adventures of 5 abandoned puppies
language
( Dec. 7, 2013)
An exciting tale of adventure, danger, kindness and friendship. The Flyball 5 is an ideal read for anyone who loves dogs.
On a frosty night just before Christmas, a heavily-built man drags a bulging black bin bag out of a battered old van and throws it down a steep incline towards a large moonlit pond.
Just as the bag is about to plunge into the pond, it bursts open and 5 frightened little puppies tumble out.
When the bin bag, weighed down by two house bricks, sinks below the surface of the pond, without its intended live cargo, the man curses before jumping back into his van and driving off into the night leaving the puppies to face their fate.
The Flyball 5 follows the adventures of the five puppies as they struggle to survive the ordeal of being dumped.
Gradually the puppies become separated during that first terrifying night and their adventures and the people they encounter after they are parted are radically different.
However, more than a year after they were abandoned the five dogs are reunited due to the fact each of them has an exceptional talent for the hugely popular sport of Flyball and that's when their story takes an unexpected and dramatic twist.
Set in present times, The Flyball 5 is not a cartoon style story with talking animals.
The characters in the book and the dogs' adventures are perfectly possible.
The Flyball 5 is exciting and entertaining and can be read and enjoyed by everyone.
