  Dudley is a remarkable basset hound with distinctive black, tan, and white coloring, complete with charming black spots scattered across his white patches. His most striking features are his extraordinarily long ears that sweep the ground like silk scarves and his wonderfully saggy skin that gives him a noble, gentle expression. Living in a cozy cottage on Willowbrook Lane with his beloved mum and dad, Dudley embodies all the best qualities of his breed - he's stubborn yet loving, loyal beyond measure, and possesses an extraordinary nose that can detect scents from incredible distances. 
  Dudley's daily life is filled with simple pleasures: following his dad around the house like a devoted shadow, sleeping contentedly under Dad's favorite armchair while producing the most spectacular snores, and participating in evening howling concerts that delight the entire neighborhood. His deep, resonant bark makes him sound like a much larger dog, commanding respect from visitors and delivery drivers alike. Though he can be wonderfully stubborn when he sets his mind to something, his love for his family knows no bounds, and he greets everyone he meets with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. 
  The great adventure of Dudley's life begins on an ordinary Tuesday morning when his mum mysteriously disappears while working in the garden. After Dad's visual search proves fruitless, Dudley's extraordinary scenting abilities come to the rescue. Using his magnificent nose, he follows a complex trail through their long garden, past the greenhouse, vegetable beds, and apple trees, all the way to the potting shed at the very back of their property. 
  There, Dudley discovers that his beloved mum has become trapped inside the shed when the door mechanism jammed, leaving her unable to escape. His urgent barking alerts Dad to the location, and together they free Mum from her predicament. Dudley's heroic rescue makes him a neighborhood legend.

  January 1948 began a wonderful year for the Lechows. With Father newly returned to Western Germany from a Russian prison camp, they were together again and could enjoy a measure of security and happiness in The Ark, their railroad car home on Rowan Farm. It was a year that held for sixteen-year-old Margret in particular, both joy and sorrow. She found real satisfaction in entering Mrs. Almut's Great Danes in two important shows and in raising several young animals which were her very own. She felt a vague unhappiness, however, when Mrs. Almut's son, Bernd, as well as her own brother Matthias, succumbed to the charms of an attractive, but superficial girl from Frankfurt. But Margret had little time to brood. There was the abused Shetland pony whose life she was determined to save. There was also the problem of Andrea, her younger sister, whose flair for the dramatic landed her in serious difficulties at school. And Joey and Ull, the enterprising eight-year-olds, kept Margret in a constant state of uncertainty with their magnificent ventures. The year brought Margaret new friends as well among them the resourceful young schoolmaster with his plan for rebuilding a bombed out farm, and the American woman, working in Germany with the Friends Service Committee. As in The Ark, her previous book about the Lechow family, Mrs. Benary mirrors the slow changes of the season, come war or peace, the burgeoning of life in the spring and with it a renewal of hope. Once again she creates real people whose joys and disappointments are universally understood, and above all she leaves her readers a sense of courage and faith all too rare in books today.

After his death, lonely and yearning for someone who could understand him like Lewis once did, Noah starts writing letters to Mothman, wondering if he would understand how Noah feels and also looking for evidence of Mothman’s existence in the vast woods surrounding his small Poconos town.
