Stephen Michael King.
Whenever Mr. Pockets goes shopping, he puts his two small dogs, Biff and Buff, in the big pockets of his coat. One day Biff slips through a hole in the pocket and gets lost. Kindly people try to help, but Biff isn't mollified until he's tucked safely back in his owner's coat. Sketchy ink and watercolor illustrations add humor and affection to the story.
