Twelve-year-old Tyrone loves his three-legged dog Buddy deeply and agonizes when Buddy must stay behind as the family evacuates before Hurricane Katrina. Later, while he and his father rebuild their New Orleans home, Tyrone fights to locate and bring Buddy home. Setting acts as a character in this emotional book, showing a strong, tight-knit community that is uniquely New Orleanian.
