Description
Growing up in Southern Spain, Kitty is a stray puppy with a love of life and a thirst for adventure. But the world is a dangerous and frightening place for a homeless young dog, and unable to cross the busy motorway it looks as though her travels will never get started. And then she meets Bailey, another stray, who soon becomes her beloved companion and trusted friend. Together they journey through Spain until they find the peace and sanctity of the magic garden.
