This type of work would undoubtedly result in seeing dogs who have experienced some very sad situations. My guess is this aspect of the story reflects the authors work with an animal rescue organization in upstate New York. Squirrel's encounters with humans continue to be unfavourable throughout the book until the very end. The two remain together for only a short time as Bone is eventually taken by humans when the two dogs wander along the edge of a highway.Įventually, Squirrel makes a good friend with another dog, Moon and together they travel to various small towns in order to survive. When something happens to her mother, Squirrel's brother Bone decides to leave the farm and she has no choice but to follow. Written in the dog's own words, she begins her story as a puppy on the Merrions farm. Martin, is a delightful but poignant story of a stray called Squirrel, who starts life as a wild dog born on a farm.
