Tales From Red Fox Hill
In The Beginning
by W.K.Moffat

Even though he mistakes a skunk for a squirrel and gets too close to a porcupine for comfort, he is looked to as the leader of the other dogs at Red Fox Hill. Zadoc is the narrator of all the stories. There are five rescue dogs living with the Lady at Red Fox Hill: Zadoc, an Australian Terrier, Zhilo, a Golden Retriever, Zeeva and Tattoo both Silky Terriers, and Zoé, a Bichon. They enjoy fun and adventure together while learning important values and life lessons. A fierce predator can also be a protector, the smallest creatures can have the biggest hearts, and sticking together through difficult times can bring comfort and strengthen friendships. Join Zadoc and his companions as they go through the seasons at Red Fox Hill, making new friends and learning new things (sometimes the hard way) and, above all, doing it together.
