Fans of Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows, and Shiloh will
love this timeless classic about two dogs and a cat that embark on a
journey to return to their owner and inspired the movie Homeward
Bound.
An inquisitive Labrador retriever, friendly bull terrier, and courageous
Siamese cat set out through the Canadian wilderness to find their owner

Instinct tells them that the way home lies to the west and together the
three house pets face hunger, the natural elements, and wild forest
animals as they make their way home to the family they love.
This beloved classic that inspired the movie Homeward Bound has
captured the hearts of generations of readers. The lengths to which
these three animals will go for each other and for their owner make for
a thrilling and thoroughly unforgettable tale.
