Bandit's Run

Bandit’s Run is a true story of a lost dog. Bandit was about eighteen months old when he ran through an open gate. His owner’s knack for imagining where he would turn up next was uncanny. “Growing up, we always watched Disney shows and Lassie,” says Jamie Brehmer, author. “Bandit resembled the Lassie show in many ways, and not because he is a sheltie and Lassie a collie. It was the scenes in which the ranger and Lassie would be so close, yet neither knew the other was right around the corner,” says Brehmer.

The book follows Bandit on a journey much like The Incredible Journey. While Bandit’s skittish personality kept him from coming back home right away, his resilience taught his family that he was definitely meant to be theirs.
