Trooper's Story

Trooper’s Story
Benjamin Mitton
Trooper was a dachshund with a curious nature. He lived with Emily and loved her dearly and she loved him. He loved it when they cuddled. He never wanted anything. She kept him well fed and he always had fresh water. One day someone left the gate open. He decided to just step out and see what was on the other side. Then he took another step. He played in the field, chased butterflies and far this way and that. When his tummy began to rumble, he decided it was time to head home, only he didn’t know which way was his home. The poor little guy was lost. For weeks he looked for his home. He ate grass, mushrooms and leaves, he drank from puddles. He missed his food, clean water, warm bed and most of all he missed snuggling with Emily. One day a kind man found him and took him to an animal shelter. They cleaned him up, gave him food and fresh water. He slept a lot the first week. He was taken to a foster home for a few weeks then to a Dachshund rescue place. That’s where he met Ben who soon became his new daddy.
Trooper was curious about what was n the field; he strayed too far and couldn’t find his way home. We are often the same. Things look prettier, more pleasant, more exciting so we begin exploring and forget how to return home.
Trooper was helped by many people, Jamie and Ben were only two of them. The ASCPA and the different rescue organizations are important to the well-being of our pets. In the story I kept hoping Trooper and Emily would be reunited. This is a must read with your children. Using this book as an ice breaker can lead to discussions about not straying too far from the safety of your home.
Thank you NetGalley for the review copy.

What a poignant and hopeful story about a little dachshund who gets out of a fence, wanders lost, and is finally rescued by a kind man. The illustrations are beautiful and readers will be moved to adopt rescue pets themselves.

You had me at the dachshund and compounded that with a rescue story!

There he was washed and fed and made to feel cared for and safe. before he went to the Dachshund Rescue.

Inspirational story of helping to the lost dog 🐕 to find a forever home with family and love.
Sometimes curiosity can be very dangerous like here, when little dog was lost to the big fields without water and anything to eat.
To survive in that situation , speak for the strength of the dog. When he was found by Trent the pain and worries were away. Anna helped a lot and veterinary care in the shelter.
If you can help, just take care of one dog from shelter center and adopting in yours home
