The Adventures of Celtic: the Long Journey Home

By Todd Hveem

As Celtic navigates his way through the city to try and lead a group of dogs to safety, he realizes the importance of daily walks, and the fun things dogs can do when they are not chained to a leash. The book is a must read for any family thinking of adopting a pet from the animal shelter, and emphasizes the importance of family. It also sets the stage for the fifth-and-final book in the five-part series -- The Adventures of Celtic: Going for the Gold, which is due to come out this spring.

Todd Hveem

Todd Hveem is an award-winning author who has always gotten a kick out of watching dogs tilt their head, wag their tail, and bark for no particular reason. He loves to put words in animals’ mouths and try to imagine what they must be thinking as they go through their daily routines. In April of 2012, Hveem was stricken with pancreatic cancer. He was given only a short time to live, but he continues to have a bright outlook on life and take life one day at a time. One of the huge bright spots in his life is the relationship he shares with Celtic, who has done and will do almost anything imaginable. He loves sports and spending time with his family. He also enjoys a great game of tug-of-war with the Celtic, the star of the five-part series “Adventures of Celtic.”

CHAPTER 1

When all of the dogs were outside of the dog pound, I felt this great sense of accomplishment. In fact, for a long time, I just looked around and smiled.

There was a basset hound running in one direction, a poodle running in the other and two German Shepherds chasing each other like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in that cartoon Tyler and I always watch.
