With the help of some friendly foxes, Alfie learns to live in the wild, but he never stops thinking of Charlie. We follow his adventures as he befriends a couple of foxes and tries to get back to his boy, Charlie. While not as fast as a Greyhound on a smooth, firm surface, once the going gets rough or heavy they can outrun a Greyhound.

Just when Alfie thinks that he is going to starve, he meets some wonderful friends, Sunset and Fixit Fox. Perfect for readers aged between 9 and 12, 'Dear Hound' is a wonderful story of resourcefulness, growing up and loyalty.
