About the Book
Thrust into jail by an angry woman for an unknown offense, George. a purebred Australian shepherd, is rescued by Cliff Worthington, a retired engineer, whose hobby is treasure hunting. During a treasure hunt in the desert, George, along with a grumpy Indian named Eagle, evens the score by saving Cliff's life.
Eagle.is a retired miner who knows of an abandoned gold mine that Cliff suggests they explore. The two men and George go there together . An accident sends Cliff spiraling down a deep shaft. Assuming Cliff is dead, Eagle rappels down to recover the body and finds a cache of gold bars stored there by the Incas. Eagle leaves with George and $4,000,000 worth of gold bars. He is going blind and has George trained as a guide dog. Together they foil a robbery and are invited to a TV talk show where there is a riot and George is stolen. George escapes and has only one thing on his mind -- return home. He is sure Cliff is there waiting.
Finding himself on an airplane with a bomb aboard was not in his plans.
