Two pets, a kitten and a puppy are abandoned in the wilderness. Through their adventures, they learn the value of sacrifice.

P.I. Connor Gibs is sniffing out a madman raising killer pit bulls, a 280-pound Green Beret with a crushing right hook, and a frustrated grave robber on parole--all of whom are conspiring to nail his shotgun-toting client, the beautiful Leontine Chevalier.

His name is Connor Gibbs. His past is shady, but his present is rosy. He enjoys the simple pleasures of a well-turned phrase and finding lost souls. He's a gentle giant--until he's crossed. Then he becomes a six-foot-seven human hammer. Gibbs isn't sure that the kid who just walked in can read the sign on his door. Yet there he is, nine years old and ready to plunk down his life savings--all $67 worth--if Gibbs can find his long-lost father. But this is one father who'll go a long way to stay lost.

Leo learns that playing by yourself can be a lot of fun.
