Hal's dream of having a dog comes true with Fleck, a rented terrier. But when he learns Fleck must be returned, Hal faces a heart-wrenching choice. Will he defy his parents and flee to keep his beloved companion? As they embark on a daring adventure, Hal discovers the true meaning of friendship and loyalty. Can he find a way to make Fleck his forever, or will their bond be torn apart by the constraints of his privileged life? Join Hal and Fleck on a journey that tests the limits of love and courage.

From the publisher

All Hal had ever wanted was a dog. But a dog would damage the expensive carpets in Hal’s glamorous home, and his rich, neglectful parents refuse to consider one. Then they discover Easy Pets, a convenient dog-rental agency. Terrier Fleck arrives on Hal’s birthday, but when Hal discovers that his dog must be returned, he runs away.
