Wild Dogs by Helen Humphreys

4.0

A haunting, sad, yet emotionally satisfying novel. The basic idea is that there are a group of people who gather on the edge of the woods outside a small Midwestern town, calling out to their dogs who have joined a wild dog pack. Most of them lost their dogs through another's ill will or by accident. Alice, the main character, lost Hawk when her (now ex) boyfriend turned her loose because she was "too expensive to feed," and most of the small group have similar stories. Now they gather and call in vain for their dogs to return, and soon their lives begin to intertwine in unexpected ways.
