His beloved doga sixyearold golden retriever mix named Gonkerbolts into the woods. Just like that, he has vanished. And Gonker has Addisons disease. If hes not found in twentythree days, he will die.The search begins. Fielding and his father, John, are dispatched to the field. They have the familys other dog, Uli, in tow. Combing the trails, Fielding and his father bond like never before. Fieldings sister, Peyton, calls and talks him through some of his lowest moments. Andat homeFieldings mother, Virginia, sets up a command center.Virginia becomes a field general. With a map and a phone book at her side, she contacts animal shelters, police precincts, general stores, community centers, newspapers, radio stations, churches, and park rangers. She is tireless. The local paper in Waynesboro, Virginia, writes a small story about the familys search. The story hits the AP newswire. Tipsmany of them of questionable authenticitypour in from across the country. But as the search continues, the Marshalls realize they may not survive losing Gonker.
