The Hound of the Lord is the story of Saint Dominic as told by the legendary dog Torch. This faithful, ever-watchful canine companion vividly describes the founder of the Dominican Order and the many challenges he faced while preaching the Gospel throughout medieval Europe.

Beginning in the village of Caleruga, Spain, Torch tells the story of his beloved master Dominic from his youth to his remarkable life as the founder of the Dominicans and becoming a great saint.
