Bound for home

"Max the puppy has fallen in love. From the moment Emi walks into the shelter with her long black hair and bright smile, he knows she's meant to be his forever person. Emi's family has just moved to Maine from Japan, and he can tell that she is in desperate need of a friend like Max. After Emi adopts him, Max goes to live with her high up on a mountain homestead where he explores his new world and spends his days annoying the other family pet, a Maine coon cat named Red. So when Emi goes missing, Max knows that it's up to him to find her, no matter where in the Maine woods she may be. Accompanied by Red, Max takes off on a journey that will challenge him with wild animals, hunger, and an impossible trail to track -- but he'll never give up until his girl is safe."--Publisher's website.
