As Wow Bow lay sleeping in the drafty old barn at the edge of the forest, his mother was thinking about their wonderful life together and the horrible thing she had to do.”

The opening line from Wow Bow, The Dog Who Barked Backwards, sets the stage for this enthralling adventure of overcoming adversity, finding your inner strength, and having unshakable faith. Wow Bow has been abandoned by his mother in the cold Canadian woods and must learn to overcome his tragic loss while thrown into a world eager to taunt him for his freaky bark and mongrel looks. 

Sent to a dog pound to be killed, Wow Bow is saved by a blind boy who hears his unique bark, makes an instant connection, and adopts him. He sees Wow Bow as the noble breed beneath the outer mutt.

Wow Bow’s inspiring and emotional saga spans his life from abandonment to meeting a wolf who teaches him survival skills to exploring several other relationships and finding his space in the world. Wow Bow’s story heroically proves that you’re never an underdog if you never quit.

Otto walked slowly toward Wow Bow and the other dogs with a cane that he tap-tapped on the ground in front of him. He asked his mother to describe the dogs she liked. None of the descriptions seemed to please Otto.

“Exactly what kind of dog are you looking for?” said his mother.

“I don’t want ordinary,” said Otto. “I want different, unusual, a dog that stands out in a crowd.”

“The only dog here that fits that description is a shaggy mutt with a droopy left ear, oversized feet, a curly bushy tail, and a big brown patch over one eye.”
