"I am reminded of the 1940 classic Lassie Come Home story as I read this modern day version of a dog named Angelo and his journey. Its a fiction story based on some facts of when Angelo went missing for 5 weeks. Nicely written and a good storyline. I had tears at the end and the photo made me smile!"

    " If you love dogs then this is a must-read. If you are old enough to remember The Incredible Journey, then this short tale will tug at the heartstrings. It tell's the tale of an intelligent Border Collie who goes missing for 5 1/2 weeks. I defy anyone to read it and not be touched. "

    " Mesmerizing concept and very well done. Angelo is a friend of mine and I get to see him from time to time. He told me that some of the story was fiction, but he thought Leland got the essence of the journey explained perfectly. "

    " Loved this book! Even if the stories aren't true, border collies have such strong personalities! I have a collie, too- black and white, can relate to the mannerisms described in the book. I had to snuggle with my collie after reading it. Sweet. "

    " A short little book that tugged at my heart strings. It's the story of a black and white Border Collie, dognapped and far from home. It follows his adventures during the 5 1/2 weeks it took him to find his way back home. Guarantted to bring a tear or two for those who are animal lovers. "
