Shadow Never have Aman and his mother needed a friend more than when a springer spaniel appears – thin and war-ravaged – in the mouth of their Afghan cave. Nursed back to health by Aman, the dog becomes a constant companion, a shadow, and that's what Aman decides to call her. When Aman and his mother decide to make a bid for freedom, Shadow will not leave their side. Soon it becomes clear: the destinies of boy and dog are linked, and always will be...
Shadow Returns ‘At least,’ said Mother, ‘at least we have one friend left in this world. She has great courage, this dog. I was wrong about her. I think maybe this dog is not like other dogs. She may be a stranger, but as such we should welcome her, and look after her. She may be a dog, but I think she is more like a friendly shadow that does not want to leave us. You never lose your shadow.’ ‘That is what we should call her then,’ I told her. ‘Shadow. We’ll call her Shadow.’
Q: How does Shadow feel? What does she think?

I knew at that moment, that somehow we were going to find a way to get to England. Shadow was going to get us there. I had no idea how. But together, we were going to do it. Some way, somehow.
