Taylor and the Red Wolf Rescue: The Ituria Chronicles, #2

By J.B. Moonstar

On Earth, red wolves are extremely endangered, and one of the last forest areas set aside for red wolf reintroduction has been sold for a housing development. Taylor has been watching a family of red wolves who will lose their home, and he wishes he could save them, but how could he save them and where could they go?

 

Trusting a stranger to help, Taylor reaches the wolves in time; but how can they get the wolves out of the construction site without being seen? Taylor wonders if he has the courage and spirit needed to complete the quest and rescue this wolf family from certain death; and if one small boy can make a difference.

Dedication

I want to thank the keepers of the North Carolina Zoo, as well as several other Zoos throughout the country, for their dedication and teamwork in keeping and raising Red Wolves, with the hope to one day being able release them back into the wild. I also want to thank the Defenders of Wildlife organization for their commitment to fight for the future of the Red Wolves, one of the most endangered species in the world.

Dear Reader,

One of Ituria’s main goals is to rescue endangered animals, saving them from death at the hands of man. In my continuing chronicles of interactions between Ituria’s realm and the human world, I relate the story of a young boy and his courage to protect those in need, even if the likelihood of success seems impossible.

On Earth, red wolves are extremely endangered, and one of the last forest areas set aside for red wolf reintroduction was sold to a housing development. Taylor has been watching a family of red wolves who are on the verge of losing their home. He wishes he could save them; but how can he? Where would the wolves go? On his last journey to see them, he meets two strangers: one is out to kill his wolves, the other promises to rescue them and take them to a safe place. Whom should he believe?

He decides to trust the stranger who wants to rescue the wolves. This choice reveals many hidden surprises, allowing Taylor to reach the wolves in time. But how can they get the wolves from the construction site without being seen?

Will Taylor have the courage and spirit needed to complete the quest, to rescue this wolf family from certain death? Can one small boy make a difference?

Sincerely,

Knocker

Stranger In Town

T aylor! called his mom. If you want to see your animal friends one last time, you must get to Sutter’s place soon. You know they sold the land to the developer, and the demolition crew has already started earlier t his week.

It’s not fair! Taylor shouted. They were supposed to leave the forest the way it was. That was the plan! That was why they brought the red wolves back here!

Pounding his clenched fists on the table, he shoved his chair away from the table and headed out the door. I will see them one more time. No matter what. Walking was not easy, but he wanted to see what he considered his animals before they were chased away. Or worse, killed.

Removing his bike from the shed, he headed for the road. Not to ride it but use it for balance as he walked. He followed the back road through Washington County, heading toward Route 32. That was where he saw them last time.

As he continued to walk, someone appeared, coming the other way.

As he got closer, he realized, this isn’t someone I know. A tall, thin teenager with shoulder-length black hair, wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of boots. A large duffle bag hung over his shoulder. Why would someone be out here? Taylor wondered. Maybe he’s part of the
