Dear Friends,
I am leaving in rather a hurry to see more of the world, so I have no time to say goodbye to you individually. I embrace you all and sniff you with love. I don’t know when I’ll be back. But back I will be.
Dominic
It’s time for a change, so Dominic packs his collection of hats and his piccolo and heads out, letting the world take him where it may. When Dominic encounters members of the Doomsday Gang, he easily foils their attempt to rob him. Legend of his victory quickly spreads, and each new friend Dominic meets tells him a story of their own less-fortunate meeting with the villains, and asks for help from the heroic dog. But can one lone dog bring down an entire band of hooligans?

      Told with the sense of delight and mystery that infuses everything this hero thinks about or encounters, the story of Dominic, a dog in search of his fortune, follows Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey model from beginning to end. Young listeners, however, will be captured by Dominic's many adventures. As Dominic, with voracious curiosity, bumbles his way through his journey, he earns great wealth and shares it with each acquaintance he makes along the path. With only the slightest modulation of tone, Peter Thomas enlivens this bevy of characters, including the generous Alligator Witch, the fearsome members of the Doomsday Gang, as well as the lucky creatures Dominic befriends along the way. Thomas's delivery, laden with portent, will delight the youngest listeners, those as innocent, generous and unsuspecting as Dominic himself. T.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
