Description
Homeward Bound is the second book in The Adventures of Easton the Rescue Pet series and is the follow-up book to the debut title, The Dog in the Deli.
Easton is a rescue dog who was born in Pennsylvania and adopted by the author, Elizabeth, and her family in Toronto, Canada. Based on personal experience, this story follows Easton on a new adventure as he travels to meet his new family and settles into his new home. The book stresses the importance of adopting rescue pets, and will be a fabulous read aloud for dog lovers — and their companion children — to enjoy. Homeward Bound is only the beginning of Easton’s adventures, with more books coming in 2025.
