About the book (from the dust jacket)
A heart-warming story of survival and loyalty . .. and a journey homeward. An unlikely trio is lost in the brutal Arizona wilderness in the days of the Old West: two red mules and an aging sheepdog named Old Nemo. Separated from their master, roving photographer Calvin Fairchild, the threesome sets out for the only home they can remember–a cabin that lies hundreds of miles away in the rugged Colorado mountains.
The dangers that stalk Old Nemo and his charges in this hard. wild land bring them close to death many times. But the three creatures always stand protected by a strong, almost human bond of allegiance. . . and by an old dog’s faithful instinct and determination to be reunited with his master.
Barbara Moore has written a touching yet unsentimental novel that continues with the stories of some of the characters readers met in her first book, Hard on the Road.
