The book features Albert, a two-year-old greyhound, who runs away from his new home after being spooked by the family cat. The true story of Albert's escape and nine weeks on the run captured the imagination and interest of animal lovers worldwide as author Kylie Miller worked to bring him home.

It's a universal story of love, family, persistence, friendship and belonging that applies to the thousands of pets seeking happy, forever homes each year.
