This heartwarming story introduces us to Easton on the first of his many adventures with his owner Elizabeth Retter and her family.
One morning, Easton wakes up to some terrible news: due to the pandemic, there is a meat shortage! In a panic, Easton takes matters into his own paws and escapes across a busy city street to the neighborhood deli. Easton's family, the deli, and its customers have no idea what they are in for—then again, neither does Easton! This is the true story of a rescue dog who loves a good adventure.
"Besides being an interesting children’s story, this book — and the Easton series in general — emphasizes the importance of providing rescue animals with their forever homes (“Don’t buy new, Rescue!”)"
“ Retter has chosen to tell the story…from the first-person perspective of the dog, Easton. Retter’s choice makes the story more immediate and, at times, adds a bit of humour…Izzy Bean’s illustrations are one of its highlights of the book…”
