I'm Not Missing by Kashelle Gourley and Skylar Hogan

Sick of the pressures of pet life - the silly costumes, the treat restrictions, and the dreaded cone of shame. 

One dog decides he’s had enough. Determined to embrace his true Lone Wolf destiny, he runs away in search of freedom and a little peace and quiet. But when he spots his owner (well… ex-owner) with a new dog, an unexpected pang of jealousy hits. All he wanted was space to poop in peace, not to be forgotten altogether! Now he’s torn: should he return home or stay a lone wolf forever?

A funny, heartfelt story about independence, belonging, and discovering where you truly feel at home.
