A TRUE STORY OF SURVIVAL AND HOPE
by Lizbeth Domday
Twenty-seven days. Two snowstorms. One little dog who refused to give up.
When Chance vanished into the Pennsylvania winter, no one knew if one small dachshund could survive the snow, subzero wind chills, and twenty-seven days alone in the woods.
648 Hours is the true story of his survival, the disciplined search that brought him home, and the love, faith, and community that refused to give up.
When Chance, a beloved long-haired dachshund, disappeared into the Pennsylvania winter, the search became far more than a mission to bring one little dog home.
For twenty-seven days — 648 hours — Chance survived snowstorms, subzero wind chills, hunger, fear, and the powerful instinct that takes over when a dog enters survival mode.
For Liz, those same hours became a journey through fear, faith, grief, discipline, and hope. What began as a desperate search soon became a lesson in lost-dog recovery, emotional restraint, community support, and the quiet strength required to keep believing when there are no guarantees.
Told through multiple voices — including Liz, Chance, search volunteers, family members, and those who helped guide the recovery — 648 Hours is a true story of survival, recognition, and the extraordinary bond between people and the animals they love.
This is not simply a story about a dog who got lost.
It is a story about what happens when instinct meets intention, when fear meets discipline, and when love refuses to stop looking.
“I finished the book it is awesome. Times when I was on the edge of the chair, weeping tears and waiting for what came next. I really came there today to finish the chapters , it had me that involved. I only read the draft and cannot wait for the book to be published to read it again. ”

“Finished reading 648 Hours! Wow! Thank you for telling Chance's story! I started reading and couldn't stop until I read the entire book! And I knew the ending! A learned a lot about a dog in survival mode. What to do and what not to do! Now I am going to read the children's book. I paged through it and loved the illustrations. What an experience for you! Something I wouldn't wish on anybody! You can add author to your list of accomplishments! Liz you're the best. Thanks for being you. ”

A true story inspired by one remarkable little dachshund.
A trail of tiny nose prints wanders playfully across the pages instead of paw prints. Some swirl. Some zigzag. Some double back, as if a very curious little dog kept getting distracted by wonderful smells.
