Far from Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog

Written by Ron Fontes, Justine Korman and Phillip Borsos

Narrated by Mimi Rogers

When Yellow Dog saved a boy from drowning, he became a canine hero. But now dog and boy are in danger again, alone in the wilderness after a boat trip separates them from the boy's father and leaves them stranded in the Canadian wilderness. This time, it's the boy's turn to become a hero, and with a little help from this former stray dog, he uses his best judgment in a brave attempt to get home. In this compelling story of loyalty and adventure— as read by actress Mimi Rogers, who appears in the film version— the boy and Yellow Dog become partners in survival and friends for life.
