A good survival tale of a racing dog in the desert. By author of Big Red. I'm guessing on when I read it. ( )

Tawny Streak is a greyhound, bred and trained for the track. But when his beloved friend and trainer dies, Tawny seizes an opportunity for freedom by heading into the deep desert.

By brains and speed, Tawny quickly discovers how to survive, and thrive, where other abandoned dogs have perished all too quickly.

Can he beat the odds where others have not? And will he ever know again the kindness of a master like the one he lost?

I enjoyed my reread of this book, and would rank it as good, though not quite as good as the author's "Big Red" books. ( )
