ABOUT THE BOOK
My name is Mountain Thunderstorm, but I am known as Storm or Stormy. I was born in Oklahoma. My current owners have a nice home and two loving children. Their dad, Mark, purchased me to be a bird dog hunter and an inside pet for his children. I grew up playing with a ball in my mouth. I did great in hunting school, but when not on point, I wanted to always play ball. Some humans may say I am obsessed with my red, spiny plastic ball.
One day when Mark’s children started back to school, my owner put my ball in the sink. I was left alone playing by myself for hours, so I went to the sink, jumped up, and grabbed my ball. My humans left for what seemed like forever. I played with my favorite ball until it rolled under the family’s favorite leather couch. A few hours later, I rescued my ball from the couch. I guess in the retrieval process, I accidentally destroyed a whole couch. I did not think the couch looked all torn up, but when my family returned home, I was not just in trouble, but my life was about to change forever.
I have grown a lot since I was a pup. I am an adorable black and white ticked and spotted male German shorthaired pointer. I’m about one year old. A month or so later after the “couch incident,” Mark’s parents put me and all my belongings into their vehicle and we drove and drove. They took me to a parking lot in Fort Worth, Texas.
