Buddy & the Jack: A Novel

by W. Bryan Smith

Buddy is blind—the victim of animal abuse. The violent encounter has left the poor dog homeless, scared, and alone. Trapped inside the dark labyrinth of his own mind, the mongrel has led a bleak existence—until a chance meeting with the Jack. The Jack, a fearless Jack Russell terrier, befriends the sightless Buddy and bravely leads him on a perilous quest for a land called home. An engrossing and often lyrical novel, Buddy & the Jack pays tribute to classic animal tales such as Watership Down and The Call of the Wild. It is a story of friendship, loyalty, and the most unlikely of heroes.

This was the first novel I wrote. I think (hope) I've become a better writer...
