About This Book

A devoted dog forms a close bond with a young boy and follows him into danger when the child is abducted; the animal pursues clues, confronts hostile figures, and plays a decisive role in the boy’s rescue. Episodes of travel, hardship, and tense encounters reveal the dog's instincts, courage, and fidelity while portraying human responses to misfortune. Language is clear and straightforward, and this edition pairs the narrative with annotations, vocabulary lists, and direct-method exercises designed to support beginner readers and classroom use.
