|
Red the Dog chronicles the adventures of a real-life dog that shortly after being abandoned by his previous owner, soon becomes the neighborhood pet. For over ten years Red has chosen to remain near the spot where he was dropped off, patiently waiting his master’s return. In the meantime Red confidently roams the neighborhood biding his time and getting into various sorts of trouble. The book intentionally highlights the plight of so many abandoned pets; they appear suddenly, out of nowhere and quickly vanish again. Often abused and scared they become prey in a totally new and foreign environment without the survival skills to care for themselves. By apparently defying those odds Red has managed to win the hearts of an entire South Texas subdivision.
