Day in and day out, the faithful dog waited by a bench at the bus stop. Commuters noticed his persistence. As days passed, they asked themselves: For whom is this loyal dog waiting? Some at the bus station shared with him their lunches, but the dog fixated on the returning passengers, eating the food gifts only after the bus would again leave without bringing home the right person. This loyal pet awaited an owner who could not come. The weather was turning cold. The dog's survival might soon be at risk. This Helen A. Bemis dog story brings to over 20 her total of Riverview Animal Shelter novels that combine dog-training insight, a respect for family values, and some cozy mystery.
