When his aunt brings a stray dog to Sam's house on his birthday, Sam immediately wants to keep her. But there is more to the stray he names Jenny than meets the eye. Jenny has escaped from a different parallel world, where saving her master Baldur has lead to the beginning of Ragnorak, the last battle at the end of the world. Jenny recruits some of her new dog friends to set out upon nearly impossible tasks to save not only their world, but all nine worlds. Can Gentleman Jim and Pico find Orion and get him to blow his horn? Can Checkers and Boris meet and defeat Cerebus? Can Flo outwit the wolves before they swallow the sun and the moon? Can Jenny set destiny back on track? This is a mix of fantasy, adventure and a good dog story which will carry readers onwards happily to its exciting conclusion. An animal yarn that is definitely more than you would have imagined it could be. Fun!
