    A gorgeous and heartwarming picture book about a stray dog's journey to his forever home, for fans of Where Oliver Fits and Marc Simont's Caldecott-winning The Stray Dog.

    There are lots of perks to being a stray.

    No collar to restrain you, no leash to control you, no fence to contain you. You don't have to sit, roll over or shake a paw — you do what you want.

    You're free, and all the good smells and dropped snacks of the city are yours for the taking.  

    Being a stray can be lonely, though. And cold. There's no one to play fetch with.

    Maybe a home wouldn't be so bad . . . 

    This touching story explores the meaning of home, love and trust through the eyes of a plucky street dog whose wild life eventually leads him into the caring arms of a new best friend.
