Look Back, Moss

Moss #2

by Betty Levin

In this stirring sequel to Away to Me, Moss, Moss the Border Collie finds himself far from home and badly hurt after a disastrous "rescue" attempt by a well-meaning team of animal activists. The team's plan was meant to liberate. But the result is mayhem, and Moss nearly pays the ultimate price. Only the gritty resolve of a young boy who is drawn to the wayward dog will determine whether or not Moss will be able to return to the work he was bred for -- and be reunited with his broken-hearted owner.

It's a heart warming story with an amazing ending. It definitely is worth reading if you like compelling, easy to understand stories about animals.
