The Isle of Lost Dogs

By Jared Garcia

Join Sadie, an adventurous young puppy with dreams bigger than the Isle of Lost Dogs where she lives. In this sun-soaked paradise, she frolics in the gentle waves and has fun chasing crabs. Life on the island is easy with plenty to eat and new places to discover.

 

Yet, Sadie is different from the other dogs — she's a lone wanderer, craving a family and a place where she truly belongs. The other dogs stick to their packs, making Sadie's search for friendship an ongoing challenge.

 

On her quest, Sadie ventures into unknown areas, where her spirit and resolve are tested. She climbs steep paths and stands up to unforeseen foes, learning what it really means to be brave and the importance of friends.

 

Will Sadie roam solo forever, or will she find her forever home on the Isle of Lost Dogs? Follow Sadie's touching story of finding courage, making friends, and seeking her place in the world. This warm and inspiring story is perfect for anyone who believes in the power of belonging and the spirit of adventure.

And it’s here that we begin our journey.
