Dogged

She crossed the line to save puppies.

Now she has to save her own skin!

For thirteen-year-old Karrisa, volunteering at an animal shelter sometimes means taking "work" with her wherever she goes. But little did she know that her dog-rescuing exploits would continue while at summer camp, when she discovers a puppy mill located at a farmhouse. Frank, the man who owns the property, has a history of surviving abuse at the hands of a church clergy member and it has left him feeling trapped and trying to deal with his mental health issues.

Karrisa once again slips into rescue mode and tries to aid a visibly ill pup. However, her efforts are dashed by a shotgun-wielding farmgirl. After being removed by the local deputy and given a warning to never return, Karrisa sets about drumming up neighborhood support to help shut down the mill. When opposition seems to be the theme from townsfolk, Karrisa realizes the resistance has a great deal to do with the female sheriff, who has hidden ties to Frank and the puppy mill and whose reign is marred with suspicious, iron-fisted behavior.

Along with her new friends, Ryan and Gail, Karrisa unearths disturbing news of what the dogs are really being used for. With the stakes suddenly more troubling than before, Karrisa embarks on her most dangerous rescue mission yet, one that will leave her hog-tied and face to face with two murderous she-wolves with the potential to end her young life.
