Bring Jade Home: The True Story of a Dog Lost in Yellowstone

by Michelle Caffrey

Overview

Imagine Your Dog, Suddenly Lost in the wilds of Yellowstone National Park. How long would the beloved member of your fur family survive? Alone. At night. Surrounded by wolves, mountain lions, and grizzly bears. Day after day week after week. How far would you go to find your dog? Time is running out. Predators. Frigid nights. A dangerous landscape. Starvation. Here is the gripping true story of Jade, a young Australian shepherd, who disappears into Yellowstone's wilderness after a horrific car wreck. Despite their injuries and against doctor's orders, her owners David and Laura leave the Trauma Center to begin a desperate search-can they find Jade before it's too late? Days stretch into weeks with no sign of the Aussie. Then park employee Kat Brekken hears about the missing pup and launches a huge search effort fueled by social media. Soon, hundreds of volunteers pool their energies to bring Jade home. This story will melt your heart and renew your faith in dogs-and people.

About the Author

Michelle Caffrey grew up in "Chicagoland" next to O'Hare Airport, dreaming of seeing a larger world. Her dreams were eventually realized, traveling by RV around the United States and later living in Penang, Malaysia. Michelle and her husband then bought a 1906 Dutch barge, the Imagine, and cruised the waterways of Europe, providing stories for her travel memoir, Just Imagine: A New Life on an Old Boat. Michelle has since written two novels; Bring Jade Home is her first book with Farcountry Press.
