Bookroo's summary
A hunter trains his dog to retrieve shot birds, but the dog has a different plan. Instead of bringing them back, it ferries the wounded creatures to a secret island sanctuary. As the hunter discovers this unexpected act of defiance, he faces a moral dilemma. Will he continue his pursuit, or will the dog's compassion change his heart? This tale explores the bond between man and animal, and the unexpected paths of empathy.
