Ellie's Long Walk

Pam Flowers

Description

The true story of Ellie, a formerly abandoned puppy, and her new owner as they hike the 2,000-mile Appalachian Trail and ford rivers, scale rugged cliffs, and survive howling storms. It is a charming story of friendship and teamwork that teaches lessons about courage, determination, trust, and love.

When Pam met Ellie, she was sure she had found a new friend. But Pam wanted more than just a friend; she wanted a companion to hike the world-famous Appalachian Trail. Does Ellie have what it takes to make this journey? Find out how these two friends keep each other going and if Ellie really is ready for the Appalachian Trail.

Finally, the storm ended at dawn. When they crawled out of the tent, Pam was shocked by what she saw.
The forest was now a tangle of fallen branches and toppled trees. Pam couldn’t even find the trail.
But Ellie could. She could smell where other hikers had walked before the storm and she showed Pam the way.

Epilogue
Ellie raced to the side of the puppy pen to see who was coming. When she saw Pam, Ellie reached up with her tiny front paws as if to say,
Pick me! Pick ME!
There were seven little puppies. All needed a home.
Ellie was black with a white blaze on her chest. When Ellie and Pam looked at each other, the puppy sat right down, lowered her head, and pulled her ears back, showing good dog manners.
Pam smiled and scooped Ellie into her arms. I ll adopt this one. She behaves and will make a nice friend.
