POUNDIES: Maisie's Great Escape
by V.L. Ireland
Maisie has spent her whole life in a cold kennel, bred and used until her usefulness runs out. When a sudden storm and a flash of lightning open the gate, the weary Cavalier King Charles Spaniel bolts into a world she has never known.
Rescued by a lonely elderly woman named Mabel, Maisie briefly tastes warmth, shortbread, and a name of her own. But the dog warden arrives, and Maisie is taken to the pound where forgotten dogs wait, hope fades, and time runs out.
There she meets a remarkable pack of "Poundies":
• Wilbur, a proud blind Westie with a Highland memory
• Jasper, a trembling Jack Russell puppy who stutters when afraid
• Buddy, a golden Labrador with an unbreakable heart
• Axel, a disciplined ex-police German Shepherd
• Blade and Fang, scarred Staffordshire brothers haunted by their past
• Genevieve, a posh foxhound who fled the hunt
• Bertie, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier who hides sadness behind jokes and tricks
• And others who each carry their own quiet wounds
Together they form an unlikely family. With the help of a streetwise tabby cat named Pixels, they plan a daring escape and set out across the countryside in search of freedom, safety, and a place to belong.
Heartfelt, funny, and full of courage, Poundies: Maisie's Great Escape is a story about the dogs who wait behind kennel doors the ones nobody hears and the extraordinary bonds that form when the voiceless finally find their pack.
