What is A Dog for Life about?

John Hawkins can understand what animals are saying, and his dog Mouse has been his loyal companion for years. But when John's seriously ill brother, Tom, needs to avoid infection, their parents decide Mouse must be sent away. Desperate to keep them together, John and Mouse run away on a dangerous journey across England to find a safe place for the dog. Along the way, they face unexpected dangers, help animals and people in trouble, and discover how far loyalty and love can carry them.
