A dangerous journey

L.S. Matthews' A DOG FOR LIFE tells of Mouse, who is anything more than an ordinary pet dog. John and his brother got Mouse when they were kids and they discover early on that Mouse is as clever as a person - but when Tom falls ill and Mouse may be sent away to the pound, the brothers have to do something that involves a dangerous journey to find a temporary home for Mouse.
