Buddy the dog loves a good adventure - and this trip takes him all the way to Arizona to visit his cousin Walter and three playful boys. After a day of running and chasing balls, Buddy is ready for bed... until the coyotes start to howl.
Curious, Buddy sets out into the moonlit desert, meeting a woodpecker, a snake, and an owl along the way. But will he find the coyotes? And can he find his way back home?
Buddy Goes to Arizona is a heartwarming tale of friendship, curiosity, and the magic of the desert after dark - perfect for young readers and dog lovers alike.
