Pancho Thirty Miles Home

By Thomas Piunti

Thirty miles from home. A family waiting. A dog who refuses to give up.

Pancho has always been his family's protector-a fearless German Shepherd with a gentle heart. When a flash flood sweeps him away during a picnic near Big Bend National Park, the family searches until darkness forces them to leave. By the time Pancho returns, the picnic area is empty.

Home is thirty miles away. He has to find it on his own.

Across the Texas wilderness, Pancho faces coyotes, rattlesnakes, hostile dogs, scorching heat, and violent storms. Some strangers offer kindness. Others see an animal they can capture. Wounded and exhausted, he must learn whom to trust and when to keep moving.

At night, he dreams of the children's laughter, the familiar touch of his owners' hands, and Sam, the Siamese cat who has been his best friend since they were small. Every remembered scent and roadside landmark offers another chance to find his way back.

Food and shelter can help him survive. Only his family can make him feel at home.

Pancho: Thirty Miles Home is a moving animal adventure filled with danger, friendship, and hope-a story for readers who know how deeply an animal can become part of a family.
