Lost Dogs

?Meet THE LOST DOGS: ?Luna the labrador. She's a worrier. She can't imagine how her family will survive without her to look after them. Bella the cocker spaniel. She's lost most of her memories but can still remember a home where she was loved. Eddie the terrier. An optimist who sees the funny side in everything. But since his owner died, it looks as if the dog pound might be his fate. Thrown together when their worlds fall apart, these three dogs will share the biggest adventure of their lives. They'll break out of prison, go on the run, be shipwrecked and homeless; they will dodge the cruel dog warden and risk their lives to save other dogs from a criminal gang. However much they have lost, they will discover a new kind of family in each other. But will they find their way home? AGES: 7 to 12 AUTHOR: Patricia Forde is from Galway.
