This story is a humorous fantasy, with an undercurrent of suspense blended into it, along with a dash of social commentary and an ongoing series of magical and mysterious events that continually unfold. It is told by Greg, a middle-aged Australian blue healer cattle dog, who hopes to have an adventure traveling cross-country, as he meets others and speaks publicly about matters of concern. Beyond that, most everything else that happens in the story is a total surprise to him and to the majority of his fellow travelers.
