On a MISSION from DOG

On a MISSION from DOG - Walking Adventures in Africa, is the true tale of a woman finally living in the country of her dreams - Kenya. Asphyxiated by fear, and frustrated her new husband isn't interested in exploring, Lorraine buries herself in their home in white Kenya, a mile from the coffee farm in Karen Blixen's Out of Africa, and wonders, 'Was it really me who trekked across the Libyan Desert?' Lorraine is lured outdoors by 'DOG', a flea infested animal who arrives on the doorstep. Finally realizing if she waits for her husband she won't go anywhere, she packs DOG into a 1983 Land Rover for their first adventure - Tanzania.

Inspired by hosting Ted Simon on his second motorcycle journey around the world Lorraine wonders, 'Maybe my wildest dreams aren't so far-fetched... ' When the pack of two delve further into the wilds, they learn how different elements of Kenyan society - from nomadic tribes to employees of ex-President Moi - interact with their canines and Lorraine asks, 'Could the best traveling companion for me, be DOG?'

Intent on exploring the heart of Africa, she ignores her own when DOG's old street mate appears. Bruiser repeatedly reveals the path to happiness, and Lorraine repeatedly turns him away. Who can travel with two dogs? Finally realizing fear has again made her blind - this time to a powerful love - Lorraine searches for Bruiser's new family only to discover he's run away. Accompanied by DOG, Lorraine embarks on an epic rescue mission and ultimately decides, 'If I can't travel there with my dogs, the place isn't worth exploring.'
