Description
Huskies like adventure. Dash is no exception. He lives to explore, run, enjoy life, and take a few risks with his best buddies, Molly and Max.
When Max and Molly embark on a long hike with teachers from school, they bring Dash along. None of them have ever been in the Arizona desert where coyotes, wild horses, snakes, and scorpions abound. They pack carefully, aware of the risks and obstacles they might face. But once on the trail, Dash’s curiosity leads him into deathly danger. How will he be saved? Join the group as they explore and learn about the desert near the Colorado River.
Based on true stories and a very real dog!
