Rocket Hound: A Race For Freedom
Oaktree Farm is a sanctuary for animals that need new homes. From the billowy white sheep, all the way down to the tiny little chicks, Farmer Hubbard has a respect for all animal lives. Rocket, a greyhound and former racing dog, has made Oaktree his home after several years on the racing circuit. He loves his home and the friends he has made along the way. He is happy in retirement, until new pups make their way to the farm.
Cody and Taz are completely infatuated with racing. The chocolate lab and Australian shepherd are always racing along the pasture fences pretending to be all time famous racers who they call ‘Rocket Hounds’ after the famous racer Rocket. At first, they have no idea that the greyhound at Oaktree is the infamous racer. The retired race horse on the farm also puts ideas in their heads.
When the pups sneak off to find the race track, Rocket has no other choice but to follow after them. After he finds himself back at the track, he must run the race of his life to bring the pups back home safely and save the other retired greyhounds from a gruesome fate. Can one old dog bring them all home?

This is a story with talking animals, where you can literally get information right from the horse’s mouth!
Oaktree Farm is a wonderful place, a sanctuary for all kinds of animals that need new homes. Farmer Hubbard loves and respects all of the animals. The hero of this story is Rocket, a greyhound and former racing dog, who has lived here after retiring from several years on the racing circuit.
When new pups, Cody and Taz, arrive, they are totally into racing, pretending to be ‘Rocket Hounds’, referring to the famous racer, Rocket. They don’t realize the greyhound at Oaktree is that famous star. When they sneak off to the race track, Rocket has to follow after them and intervene. Can he bring the pups and the other retired greyhounds home safely?
I love books like this where parents can read to or with the kids and discuss the valuable lessons embedded within the pages. And even if you don’t have a child to read with, this is an uplifting story even for an adult! Grab your copy and cheer Rocket on!
