"The Story of three animals who, 'boarded our', travelled home together 250 miles across 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...All three were very much ...a part of the author's household in Canada, and it was their remarkable behaviour and understanding of each other which inspired her to write this book. The journey on which she has sent them is of course imaginary..." - excerpt from the front dust jacket flap.
"This journey took place in a part of Canada which lies in the northwestern part of the sprawling province of Ontario. It is a vast area of deeply wooded wilderness - of endless chains of lonely lakes and rushing rivers. Thousands of miles of country roads, rough timber lanes, overgrown tracks leading to abandoned mines, and unmapped trails snake across its length and breadth." - excerpt from page 1.
