Trico Leader of the Pack Jan Glaz

Dogs sleep, thus, like us, they dream about their life, their desires, what they hope will occur within their every day. Our canine friends think about who loves them and who may not. Trico reveals his thoughts and dreams within the pages of this book - a heartwarming, often humorous tale of a unique dog, a high spirited Shepherd who begins life as a beloved pet, but due to a child's mishap ends up in an animal shelter, where every one of his shrewd and imaginative ideas to break free meets with failure. And then, one dreary afternoon, as he's busy devising yet another mode of flight, a wealthy spinster, Bonnie, enters the shelter and falls in love with him. The feeling is not mutual. She calls him her "Trico". He tries in vain to dissuade her, but Bonnie's instant love is blind, and he's doomed to live with her in the confines of luxury. As he matures he yearns to explore more of life and decides to seek it at any cost. One day he pays the price, he escapes. Cold, hiding in alleys, scouting for food and shelter, he encounters a group of dogs and follows them to their home base, a crime-infested slum, occupied by hordes of homeless dogs. Here he learns about the hidden life of strays and the dangers they face in their quest for survival, companionship, and love. Trico, a born leader, joins their gang. Soon after, he decides to fulfill a dream. He organizes and trains a pack of his own. Thus begins an extraordinary mission with unexpected twists and turns that guide Trico and his pack into a creating a "new" service to humanity, proving without a doubt, that dogs will always, eternally, be man's best friend.
