HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, December 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author Sonya Herburger announces the release of her heartwarming children's book, "Willy’s Quest for a Home," a touching story about a resilient dog who overcomes adversity to find his forever home.

The Story:
Willy, a shelter dog, loves playing with his siblings, Buster and Lily. When Lily finds a home, Willy fears being alone. After Buster is also adopted, Willy escapes the shelter and gets lost in the city. Scared and hungry, he runs into traffic and is hit by a car.

A kind woman rescues Willy and takes him to another shelter. He heals there and meets Sherry, who cares for him and gives him the name One-Eyed Willy. At an adoption event, Willy meets Sonya and instantly connects with her. Though he's initially jealous of her other dogs, King Tut and Titan, he eventually accepts them as his brothers.

Willy finds happiness with Sonya but struggles with separation anxiety. He follows her everywhere, even hiding in her desk drawers at work. Sonya's love and patience help Willy overcome his fears, and he finally finds a true forever home with her and his new family.
