Catie, canine concierge at Boston's Copley Plaza Hotel, visits Quebec City with her doggie counterpart from the Château Frontenac. The story has minimal plot, but tourists or locals of either city may enjoy finding familiar landmarks in the illustrations (though the pictures don't always match the text).

Pup Catie gets work at Boston's Copley Plaza Hotel after poor eyesight prevents her from becoming a service dog. She longs "to do great things," and when a guest loses her teddy bear, Catie eagerly sniffs it out. The illustrations give Catie plenty of personality, but the human figures are less effective and some of the scenes look unfinished.
