Synopsis:

A boy on a bicycle with two puppies in a basket has an accident and one puppy wanders off in a daze. He and the other puppy try to find her in the big city where they live, but they are not successful. The lost puppy has a much rougher start than the puppy with the boy. In their dreams the dogs continue to play with each other but during the day they each have very different life experiences.

The lost puppy's story illustrates how lack of caretaker knowledge about dog well-being can lead to a less happy companion. Told without judgement.

Of course there is a happy ending!

Throughout, there is leeway in the interpretation of the illustrations to allow the reader to fill in from his or her own imagination about how the story details play out.

The concept of spaying/neutering is suggested as a positive way to help keep a dog healthy and help reduce the number of homeless dogs in the world

Generous donors have made it possible for me to print the first several hundred in full color to be passed out to children in rural Mexico completely free in association with two very active spay and neuter groups here in San Miguel de Allende.

Your positive reviews will help rescue groups distribute more copies and make life better for needy dogs. Thank you so very much.
