Bookroo's summary

In the Blue Ridge Mountains, Abby's world shatters when a tragic accident separates her from Tam, her beloved Shetland sheepdog. As weeks turn into months, both face dangers and changes that test their bond. Abby's heart aches for her 'north star,' while Tam navigates the wild, driven by loyalty. Will their unbreakable connection guide them home, or will the miles and mountains prove too great? This tale of friendship and resilience asks: can love truly conquer all obstacles?

From the publisher

Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, A Dog’s Way Home is an unforgettable tale of the many miles, months, and mountains that divide two loyal friends–but that can’t possibly keep them apart.Abby knows that Tam, her Shetland sheepdog, is her north star, and she’s pretty certain she’s his, too. But when an accident separates Abby and Tam, it feels as though all the stars have fallen out of the sky and nothing will ever be right again. As the days between them turn to weeks, then months, dangers and changes fill up Abby’s and Tam’s lives. Will they ever find their way home to each other?Daddy says, Most folks got a north star in their life–something that gives their life extra meaning. Mine is music.Without even thinking, I say, Mine is Tam.
