Newtonville Books is pleased to welcome Paul Toutonghi, author of Dog Gone: A Lost Pet’s Extraordinary Journey and the Family Who Brought Him Home.
Dog Gone is the true story of a lost dog’s journey and a family’s furious search to find him. Saturday, October 10, 1998. Fielding Marshall is hiking on the Appalachian Trail. His beloved dog—a six-year-old golden retriever mix named Gonker—bolts into the woods. Just like that, he has vanished. And Gonker has Addison’s disease. If he’s not found in twenty-three days, he will die. Dog Gone is by turns a story about how a family comes together in a crisis—and the way heroism can assert itself in the little things we do each day.

Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
