A four-year-old boy named Romochka, abandoned by his mother and uncle, is left to fend for himself. Curious, he follows a stray dog to its home in a deserted church cellar on the city's outskirts. There he joins Mamochka, the mother of the pack, and six other dogs and slowly he forgets his human attributes to survive two fiercely cold winters." "Romochka becomes the leader of the pack because of his skills as a strategist and his ability to pass as either a boy or a dog. The pack is constantly in search of food to survive, and, inevitably, Romochka attracts the attention of local police, street urchins, and, finally, scientists. His future, and the pack's, will depend on his extraordinary abilities." "Dog Boy is an exploration of what is human in animals and what is animal in humans. Author Eva Hornung examines universal themes of the human condition: the importance of home, what it means to belong to a family, the consequences of exclusion, and what our animal nature can teach us about survival."--BOOK JACKET.
