When she arrives at the faraway zoo, Lia is dismayed to find an unhappy Perry the Dragon huddled in a tiny cage because he acted out a bit. Lia has great empathy and tries to treat others as she would like to be treated. At the Eleuthera zoo, large animals run free
and frolic by the sea. Lia is determined to help Perry the Dragon run with them, and be happy, safe and free.
