Squirrels Fall From Trees

Four feral puppies lose their mother. Aided by two old dogs, they try to survive in a suburban city, hunting mice and staying away from coyotes and looker-grabbers, the tall creatures that took their mother. When they set out to find their father, rumored to live deep in the city, they will need to pool all their strengths as they journey through a world they know nothing about.

Raudseppa Jaan is a lover of dogs, an amateur scholar of Estonian folklore and himself quite thoroughly feral. Rarely captured on film, he has been known to run through the hills of Castro Valley trying to pet a deer and to go to the bog with all his stuff, as the Estonians say. This is Jaan's first book.
