📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
Moss and the Pup — Mari always believed her father kept the old sheepdog Moss out of softness, now that the animal could no longer run the hill — and she loved her father for it. She was wrong, and one bad night at the lambing in mid-Wales shows her exactly how wrong, and what working dogs are actually worth to the men who depend on them.
