Dogs of Sky Valley (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798900710099)

In the mid-1970s, seventeen-year-old John Sullivan spends his time riding his horse and increasing his passion for collecting dogs, much to the dismay of his father. When John begins to notice that his dogs disappear late at night, he follows one of them up a California fire road where he stumbles upon an amazing scene. His dogs are seated around a giant, pulsating, emerald-green meteor embedded in the side of a cliff. His dogs' eyes are also the same aquamarine color as the meteor.

More dogs emerge from the sage with glowing green eyes, and his smallest one forces John into the meteor. Just like his dogs, John's eyes turn a blazing green. Then he hears the dogs' voices reverberating in his mind. Although terrified, he realizes that he can communicate telepathically with all the dogs that have touched the strangely colored orb. The dogs worship it as a gift from the creator sent to help them in an important mission to destroy a massive dog fighting ring in East Los Angeles.
