About This Book

A small terrier born on a South Sea plantation grows intensely attached to the humans around it, then is swept into a life of voyages, transfers of ownership, and shipboard existence. The narrative follows the dog's shifting loyalties and survival as it endures cruelty, theft, and dangerous encounters ashore, including shipwreck and violent clashes between seafaring outsiders and island communities. Through episodic adventures across islands and oceans, the account traces themes of devotion, animal perception, and the harsh realities of colonial maritime life without sentimentalizing the hazards the dog and the people around it face.
