For years, Janet Elder said no to her son's desperate pleas for a dog- even managing to hold firm after his heartrending PowerPoint presentation featuring a happy family with a dog versus a sad family without one. Living in a tiny apartment and juggling demanding jobs, there was just no room in their lives for a dog. Then, Janet was diagnosed with breast cancer and everything changed.
After months of gruelling treatment, granting Michael's wish with a sweet, mischievious poodle called Huck seems the perfect antidote - an affirmation of life.
But when Janet's treatment finally allowed the family to take a vacation, little Huck had to be left behind with her dog-loving sister. In less than 24 hours Huck had slipped through the fence and run away. Broken-hearted, the family flew back immediately to find him. Moved by their plight, everyone in the small town of Ramsey - from school children to the police chief and the mayor - unites in a desperate race against the clock to find him. Searching for a tiny puppy in densely wooded areas in freezing conditions becomes an incredible test of faith.
Huck's story - and those of the bravery and tenacity of strangers who came together to rescue him - is a moving reminder that few things unite people more than a shared love of man's best friend.
'A story of how healing the love of a pet can be and of faith that good things can still happen when people pull together - a true, feel-good read.' Patricia Cornwell.
