DATELINE: JUNEAU ALASKA, 1933: When a grief-stricken teen chases a magic dog down an alley and ends up in frontier Alaska, he discovers that love is a bond that cannot be broken by time or distance - or even death. THE DOG: Patsy Ann was a real bull terrier known as the 'Official Greeter of Juneau' during the 1930s. Although she was deaf from birth, Patsy Ann 'heard' ships' whistles and greeted all new arrivals. Today, a bronze statue at the Juneau waterfront honors Patsy Ann. Visit her website for more information at PatsyAnn.com. This book was originally published as Young Adult fiction but has been updated to appeal to dog lovers of all ages.
