Bookroo's summary

Moka, a loyal dog, dreams of wild freedom after hearing tales of wolves. Tired of tea parties and rules, he escapes to the wilderness. But when real wolves appear, Moka must confront the true nature of his desires. Will he find the adventure he craves, or will the wild prove too wild for a good dog? Discover Moka's journey as he learns what it truly means to be free.

From the publisher

Moka is a good dog. But when Michelle, his little girl, reads him a book about wolves, being a good dog suddenly seems awfully boring. Wolves get to run around doing whatever they want. No one ever makes a wolf dress up for a tea party. So Moka decides to run away to the wild. But what will happen when the real wolves show up?
