Bella's dog disappears into this book's gutter, and each offer of help (from a boy, the police, the fire brigade) also disappears. "I'll just have to sort this out myself," Bella says and follows everyone into the gutter. A note invites readers to get involved: a few shakes releases the victims, and all is (mostly) well. Cartoon illustrations and a succinct text build dramatic humor.
