Dear Hound — Jill Murphy

Alfie's your average hound puppy-curious about the world around him and loyal to his boy, Charlie. But when Charlie leaves Alfie with a sitter, the pup is so upset that he escapes into the woods and loses his way. With the help of some friendly foxes, Alfie learns to live in the wild, but he never stops thinking of Charlie. And Charlie never stops thinking of Alfie, either. Will they find each other before it's too late?
