The Four Seasons Of Rascal: The Dog From Harbin

He was small enough to fit in one hand. He filled the next thirteen and a half years.

Harbin, China — one of the coldest cities on Earth. Todd Cornell, an American who had already spent fifteen years living inside Chinese culture, walked into a street market and walked out with a West Siberian Laika puppy. He named him Rascal — 淘气宝, Precious Little Troublemaker.

Rascal earned the name every single day.

Told through the turning of four seasons, this is the story of a dog from Harbin and the man who raised him — a journey across two continents, from frozen Chinese sidewalks to the American West, through adventure, belonging, and the kind of loss that only comes from loving something completely.

This is not a travel book about China. It's a book about belonging somewhere you never imagined. And most of all, it's about the dog who always knew where home was.

For anyone who has ever loved a dog, lived between two worlds, or wondered whether home is a place — or a heartbeat.

Includes the author's original Chinese-language short story, 《我的中国狗》.
