Squirrel and Bone are born into this world on a summer house's backyard in a toolshed. Their mother dissapears one day leaving them to fend for themselves. A little after they leave Bone is taken away by some nice lady b/c "he" is the cuter one. Leaving Squirrel all alone on the streets.
Later, she meets another friend, who ends up dying tragically. She goes through quite a few owners including one family who keeps her for a summer then quickly relinquishes her after. Happily, she finally finds a loving owner who is as old as her and they live out their final years together.
As an animal lover this book was not easy to read. One of my favorites though. I love how the story was told from Squirrel's point of view. I highly reccomend it to animal lovers and people of all ages. Amazing read.
