A children's adventure story about a little rescued Pekingese dog
Suitable for children aged 6 to 9 years
As a vulnerable, frightened Pekingese puppy Gertrude has only one friend, the little girl. But she cannot protect Gertrude forever and when she leaves her outside the Dogs Home Gertrude is more terrified than ever before.
It is not long before she finds a new loving home with Miss Dee, but Gertrude often wonders if her brothers and sisters are still alive and she decides to try and find them.
Soon she encounters the magical Blue Lion, and another Pekingese, the haughty Lady Jade Thundergrowl of Sianking. In no time at all her life is in great danger and she has to prove that like her ancestors, she really can be as brave as a lion.
