Mortimer’s Odyssey

Mortimer’s Odyssey will return to publication later this September.

What happens to a dog who runs away? The poor pooch is now without the easy life: shelter, food (premium dog food), warmth, companionship, daily walks, love of fans. What does he do? He has to search for food, shelter, and comfort all by himself. How will Mortimer survive? It’s all in Mortimer’s Odyssey”.
