Endearing deerhound puppy Alfie accidentally gets separated from his dog-sitter. He ends up living in the wild with two kind foxes who aid him in his quest to find the family that is desperately searching for him. After an encounter with nasty fox-hunting "lampers," Alfie returns home, in a satisfying ending to this warmly told and expressively illustrated gentle adventure.
