      Rascal came to the river in the grey light of early morning.

      He’d been on the move since before sunrise and he had made good time. But what now? To continue his journey west, he had to cross to the other side.

He began to follow the river downstream.

      The trees around him had started to lose their leaves. A memory stirred in Rascal’s mind of playing with Joel in the back garden. He had been no more than a puppy then. Joel had promised his parents that he would rake up the leaves that littered the lawn. And he had made good on that promise, until . . .

      ‘Its raining leaves!’ Joel had laughed, and Rascal had been happy to join in the fun, jumping up and barking excitedly.

      ‘What are you two up to out there?’ had come the cry from the
