Born between a board fence and a set of trash cans, Keeper the dog faces every challenge with his nose upturned and his lustrous tail held high. His journey out of puppyhood, during which he becomes the loyal companion to a homeless man, discovers an ear for poetry, and meets his match in his brutal rival, Scar, is a story of perseverance in a world of danger and unexpected opportunity.
“Throughout this saga of the narrator’s ‘dog days,’ the author proves she is as well versed in animal behavior as in human sensibilities.” —Publishers Weekly
