Tobi is a little dog living happily in New York City until his owner, Ted, leaves him on his family’s Vermont farm in a town bordering a beautiful lake where dogs roam free. As Tobi waits and pines by the roadway, he has no way of knowing whether Ted will return. Drawn into the vibrant life of the farm, how well can he adjust to the family’s idea of a dog’s role and place? While the family struggles with a devastating tragedy, he follows the farm dog Rex into mysteries of the night and ends up lost and alone. On a long odyssey through the back country and around the lake, trailing wondrous animals at his peril, Tobi encounters unforgettable people. This is a story of a dog and a family, enduring, forgiving, loving, during an idyllic time in the history of a town.
