From the publisher

A neighborhood comes together to help find a lost dog in this lively picture book based on a true story. It’s a busy morning in the city. Yotam and his mom stop in at their local café on the way to school, tying their dog’s leash to an outside chair as usual. But today isn’t usual. Bailey the dog gets startled by something and is suddenly dashing down Henry Street, freed of her leash and frantic. Before Yotam can catch up with her, she has disappeared. And that’s when lots of neighbors get involved, joining in the search for the missing dog and offering all kinds of support and love. This bright, energetic book is inspired by a true Brooklyn story of strangers rallying to help their neighbor. It’s a rousing, feel-good animal adventure for the picture book audience, and a portrait of community at its best and kindest.
