Reunited with her band of dogs, Gwen Lang and new human group member Rupert continue the search for their parents.

This story picks up from the action of the second series entry, as soldiers from the children’s camp are now back on the trail of Gwen, her diverse dog pack, and fellow escaped captive Rupert. The kids and dogs flee, following Gwen’s eagle companion toward the safety of the dense forest. Using trees and rocks as cover, Gwen and her animal friends launch a coordinated attack that sends their pursuers into retreat. Recovering a GPS tracker from a soldier’s abandoned backpack, Rupert locates signals that he hopes will lead them to their parents. But Gwen refuses to abandon Zip, a dog who was injured during their flight—“Pack is pack.” Fortuitously, the difficult choice to suspend their search gains them a new ally, and after a night of rest they carry on, following the GPS signal to an unbelievable sight—a secret camp for adults located inside an enormous cave. Can the pack work together to free the captives and reunite with their families? Creagh’s dynamic black-and-white art adorns almost every page, heightening Do’s nonstop thrills and momentum. This spirited survival story spotlights courage, perseverance, belonging, and loyalty as the steadfast ties between humans and dogs are challenged. The illustrations portray light-skinned human characters.

Brave human, canine, and avian friends have another thrilling, high-stakes adventure.
