This is a very real and relatable story. Set in New York City, it tells what it’s like when a beloved dog gets spooked and runs off, and the worry and efforts its family goes through in hope of bringing it home. Besides describing the family’s work to make and post fliers and conduct searches, it shows how the whole neighborhood community came together to help. Spoiler alert: after being missing for two nights and three days, there is indeed a happy ending, and a celebration including all those who cared. I particularly like the people in these illustrations: though drawn with a somewhat cartoonish style, they each include details that give them personality, making them seem very real and believable.
