one of the proud breed of Border collies, the finest sheepherders

in the world. Then, almost overnight, his life is turned upside

down. He finds himself in a series of strange places, with no

sheep, his family gone. With nothing but the courage he was

born with and a dream, he searches for the life he once knew,

gathering names and adventures as he goes. For a short time,

he's called Blackie. To the Goat Man, he's Shep. To Hollerin,

he's Spot. There's one name that threatens to forever haunt

him - Sparky, the name Billy the circus man calls him when he

reaches for the whip. But there's another name that he is given,

one that finally makes him feel at home . . .

Known for her rich character development, the author brings

all her skills to delving into the mind of a clever, philosophical,

and hopeful dog searching for a home.
