Shep, short for German Shepherd, likes his new friends and owners. The nightmares of the cage fights and loneliness are all that is left of his old life. Suddenly, his family packs and leaves him behind, but why? When Shep finally makes his way outside, he discovers that all the humans are gone. Other dogs join Shep during his exploration of the city, including his best friend, Zeus, and several "yippy" dogs. The new pack must work together to survive being trapped inside buildings, animal attacks, and hazardous weather. Will the pack survive to see their humans again? This chapter book uses simple vocabulary with a few advanced words every so often, making it appropriate for third or fourth grade readers.
