Rochester, NY (PRWEB) July 9, 2006 -- Left behind during an evacuation during the Pacific War, the dog Toots somehow managed to survive. His remarkable story is told by his owner, Amelia B. Eclavea, in her charming and historically accurate children’s book, Toots (The Faithful One).

Toots is the heartwarming true story of author Amelia B. Eclavea’s little dog with a big heart and a bold, courageous spirit. Funny, mischievous, Akita mix Toots had a loving family, sunny island weather, and a future that was as bright as a new minted penny. But in 1942, the war reached Toots’ peaceful home on the Pacific Island when the Japanese invaded. Everyone had to evacuate, including Toots’ family. But in the chaotic rush, Toots was left behind. The island was soon demolished by bombs and the heartbroken family was sure Toots was dead. But more than two years later, when the family was allowed to return, they spotted a pitiful little pup running towards them. Could it be Toots? And how had he survived?

Children of all ages will love Eclavea’s true story of how love can triumph against all the odds and how the will to survive can be found even in a four-footed little friend.
