Huck - Janet Elder
















Huck - Janet Elder (2010)

Awwww I love this dog - I would take him home and smooch him all day, I have serious scruffy puppy love and he ticks all the boxes.  Anyways, this story isn't about me.  In it Janet Elder is a journalist who finally succumbs to her sons pleas for a puppy after intense treatment for breast cancer.  When Huck is a small puppy, the family go away for a holiday they leave him with their family and fly south.  Not long after the holiday starts, they get a call to say that Huck has escaped and the family are devastated.

So they travel to the small town in New Jersey where he escaped, and enlist the help of the locals to find their small pup.  Posters are spread around, and everyone waits for phone calls to see if wee Huck can be found.

You kind of know where it is going to end, and I guess it is an uplifting story of good folks wanting to help out a family.  A quick and easy read it was a sweet 4/5.
