Publisher's Summary

A story about a little dog with the heart of a lion. From the best-selling author of a A Dog Called Homeless.

Leo dreams about being a hero. In his imagination he is a fearsome gladiator, but he wants to be a hero in real life. When the boys at school dare Leo to do something he knows is wrong, he lets everybody down. How can he make things right again? A little dog called Jack Pepper is missing and it will take a true hero to find him and bring him home…
