THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY

Two 🐕 🐕 and a 🐈 and before them a journey to their home across two hundred and fifty miles of the wildest part of Canada. Tao, the Siamese cat, the hunter; Luath, the Labrador retriever, the navigator; but the bull terrier, bodger. Was old too old, perhaps, to endure…

This is the story of three animals who traveled home together across two hundred and fifty miles of the wildest part of Canada: how Luath,a young golden Labrador, tao, a Siamese cat and bodger,an old bull terrier, set off to trek through the wilderness on their soft domestic paws. Each animal is a character in it’s own right: Luath, gentle and civilized, who led his companions; Tao, pampered but hard and the”bread-winner” of the party; and bodger, bred to fight and endure, but old when the journey began.
