What if something precious vanished from the world...
and almost no one remembered it had ever existed?
Sherri and her friends are ordinary teenagers growing up on Australia's Gold Coast - near the surf, near suburban backyards, and unknowingly near a fracture in reality itself.
Dogs have disappeared.
And something old, intelligent, and utterly cruel is moving through the cracks of space and time, intent on reshaping humanity.
Drawn into a hidden conflict spanning timelines and cultures, the kids are guided by unlikely allies: a rogue physicist, a reclusive genius at CERN, a remarkable Border Collie, and a clandestine network of scientists known only as Orange Sand. Together, they uncover a truth that has been stolen from humanity - and discover that love, loyalty, and memory may be the only forces powerful enough to fight back.
From suburban cul-de-sacs to ancient worlds, The First Pat is a sweeping, heartfelt science-fiction adventure about friendship, loss, courage, and the profound bond between humans and dogs.
It is a story where love becomes resistance, memory becomes power, and the universe itself begins to heal - one brave choice at a time.
