Just Gus

De: McCall Hoyle

Narrado por: Kirby Heyborne

Return to the world of devoted working dogs and the humans they love in a new book from the bestselling author of Stella.

Gus is a livestock guardian dog with one job—protecting his farm from coyotes and foxes. He likes keeping the sheep, the chickens, and his humans safe, and he’s very good at it.

One day, Diego and his dad come to visit the farm, and Gus immediately connects to the small boy. They both like to sit still and enjoy the quiet, and Gus can tell that Diego likes being around a gentle giant of a dog, that it helps relieve the boy’s constant worry.

When Gus detects the scent of a bear in the woods, he rushes to protect his flock, injuring his leg in a fight with the dangerous beast. Wounded, Gus needs to rest and heal away from his sheep, so he doesn’t risk reinjuring his leg. Diego suggests Gus come home with them to the North Carolina coast.

Suddenly, Gus is thrust into a new world of saltwater and sand and neighbors who don’t appreciate the presence of a large guard dog, like the neighbor who reminds Gus of his first owner—the junkyard man with the heavy boots.

Gus realizes Diego might need a friend as much as his sheep need a protector, but if he can’t learn to control his instincts, like barking and patrolling the neighborhood, Gus might lose his chance to stay in his new home. If he can’t protect the farm or his boy, Gus worries he might never find his place in the world.

Just Gus is a tender story of belonging and of two friends who learn they are better together than they were alone.

You will fall in love with Gus immediately

I read Stella a couple months ago and was anxiously awaiting “Just Gus” to come out . It picked up right where we left off from Stella I loved seeing the different perspective of the original characters from Gus . All the characters, the anxiety of Diego is so relevant to what is going on today. As a parent I could relate and I know my 5th grade son could as well. We found ourselves listening every chance we got . We both give it two thumbs up and hope there are new books on the way soon

GUS stood out the most actually.

Gus and Diego were just made for each other! Gus (I thought so too) did not know he was such a human dog! She made it such a unique story and did great!
I LOVE THIS BOOK! (Added to favorites immediately when I read the first chapter!

One of the best

I did not want to listen to this but now is pretty good it is honestly one of the best books ever

was surprised!

I didn't expect to like this story even though I love Kirby Heybourn!
I thought I would just check it out for a few minutes and ended up finishing it!
Really well done with the story being told by Gus the dog!

Heartwarming, awesome, inspiring!!!!

This book is amazing and just absolutely beautiful; it is the most wonderful dog book I have ever read I love it so much!!!!!!!!!!😍

Exceptional Story🐕🐑

I chose this book because l really enjoyed this authors fantasy series and wanted more. This is one of those stories that keeps popping to mind after you have finished it. It has good morals and is suitable to be read as a bedtime series for children or for a 90 year old to listen to.
it is a cut above the norm and the great narration was from the dogs point of view.
RECOMMENDED!!

Sweet Story

Read this because my daughter wanted to. Glad we did because it's a great story!

How Gus and Diego got along

I don’t like cats or other or only three books on audible that you can listen and in the next book in the next book, you have to use a credit to get
