Tucker vs. the Apocalypse by Jay Allan Storey
Lost and alone amid the ashes of a dead civilization
Household pet Tucker is thrust into an apocalyptic world when not only his own ‘master’ but all of humanity are stricken with a deadly plague. The disease is fatal in almost one hundred percent of cases but affects only humans, leaving empty cities and towns that are quickly being repopulated with domestic animals and wildlife.
Tucker eventually connects with a group of other former pets. Deprived of their human caretakers and guided by the mysterious Web of Life, Tucker, and his ‘pack’ must learn to fend for themselves, confronting cold and blinding snow, blistering heat, the threat of starvation, ferocious predators, and the violent remnants of humanity as they search for a new home.
