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.

This heartwarming tale is based on the author’s personal experience. Easton is a rescue dog who was born in Pennsylvania and adopted by the author, Elizabeth, and her family in Toronto, Canada. This latest story follows Easton on his adventures 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.
