The Last Free Dog liquidation by Sarah Bergquist Kosumi NEUF

THE LIFE OF STRAY DOGS, REIMAGINED

In the heart of Kosovo, a litter of puppies is born, and among them, one is a spitting image of the legendary Illyrian Sheepdogs: Lyri. The pride and joy of an Illyrian is protecting a flock of sheep from wolves, bears, and even lynxes. However, young Lyri does not climb majestic mountains but instead mounds of waste. Lyri faces numerous trials in a rapidly changing world as he matures from a puppy into a young dog. His heritage and packs traditions give him the tenacity and vigor needed to cope with the challenges of being a free dog.

Through this tale, children, leaders, and individuals of all backgrounds can engage with vital issues such as pollution and the animal rights challenges in this region.
