This Mother's Day, share the heartwarming story about one lost puppy that inspired a family and brought together a town.


When Janet Elder, her husband Rich, and their eleven-year old son Michael left for a much-needed vacation in Florida, they were looking forward to a week of sun, relaxation, and a little Yankees preseason baseball. Instead, they received a call that their sweet, mischievous, red-haired toy poodle named Huck had gone missing from Janet's sister's house in Ramsey, New Jersey.


To the Elders, Huck wasn't just a puppy—he was part of their family and a very real symbol of hope. The family had gotten Huck after a difficult year in which Janet was diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer. The idea of Huck had helped them through an incredibly challenging time, and now, the family was determined to do whatever necessary to find him.


This is more than just a story of one family going against the odds to find their lost puppy; at its heart, Huck is a story about the boundless love parents have for their children and the instinct of people to open their hearts to strangers in need. It is a story about hope and faith, a story that readers will neither put down nor forget.
