Stray

You don't have to sit, roll over or shake a paw — you do what you want.You're free, and all the good smells and dropped snacks of the city are yours for the taking. Being a stray can be lonely, though. And cold. There's no one to play fetch with.Maybe a home wouldn't be so bad . . . This touching story explores the meaning of home, love and trust through the eyes of a plucky street dog whose wild life eventually leads him into the caring arms of a new best friend.
