Cormac: The Tale of a Dog Gone Missing
by Sonny Brewer
On This Page
Description
Cormac-a dark-red Golden Retriever who has always been afraid of thunderstorms and lightning flashes-runs away one stormy night while his master is away. So begins a strange adventure that lands Cormac in the back of a red pickup truck driven by a mysterious woman, takes him to a series of dog pounds and rescue shelters, and ultimately brings him to the suburbs of Connecticut. Meanwhile, his owner, devastated and trying to juggle his family and his new novel, becomes determined to solve the show more "dog-napping" case, watching his small-town community come together in search of his lost companion. Inspired by real events, Brewer has, as he says, "mainly told the truth in this story of losing my good dog Cormac." About the author: Sonny Brewer is the author of the novels The Poet of Tolstoy Park and A Sound Like Thunder and the editor of the Blue Moon Cafe Southern fiction series. He founded Over the Transom Bookstore in Fairhope, Alabama, where he lives with his family.. show less

Having recently lost (and found) a cat who went missing for 21 days, I can relate to the anguish the author felt when his dog, Cormac went missing. It was especially endearing to listen to the book read by the author with his engaging southern accent. I felt transported to Fairhope, Alabama and the Over the Transom Bookstore as the author recounted his heartbreaking experience of losing his beloved pet and the struggle to reclaim him.
Love of a dog who gets lost.
