Introduction:
Ah Peng, a mongrel dog thrown out of the pet market has to live as a fugitive every day. Eventually the harsh environment turns him into a callous survival machine. However, Ah Peng's inner soft side has not left him. In the pastures, his cold heart is slowly warming until he becomes a good sheepdog. When the shepherd is killed in a serious snowstorm, Ah Peng and another dog have to brave many challenges to drive the hundred sheep through packs of wolves blocking their way until they miraculously return to the ranch. This is the best work of Mu Ling, a renowned Chinese novelist known for works on animals. It's a story from a dog's perspective that explores love and persistence. His experience is moving and keeps the reader in suspense. The indomitable force of life is strongly felt, a rarity in animal stories.
