The Spirit Dog is a heartwarming and true story about a mysterious dog named Black who adopts author Steve Bonham and his friend Moha as they journey through the High Atlas Mountains towards the Sahara Desert. Through the heat, rocky mountains and deep valleys, encountering deserted kasbahs, streams of salt water, remote villages, a young snake and packs of wild dogs, this is an enchanting and haunting tale of adventure and companionship.
“A touching true story about friendship, love and how one dog united a group of travellers on a perilous adventure through the Altas mountains. A fantastic read.” - Maisie, aged 9
