Anika loves animals.

She loves bird-watching in her backyard, volunteering at the animal shelter with her Girl Scout troop, and caring for her elderly neighbor's parrot. Anika wants a pet, but her parents have a long list of reasons to say no, including that they aren't sure Anika is up for the responsibility.

When Anika discovers a stray dog in her neighbor's backyard, she decides to take charge all on her own. Between friend fights at school and her mom working harder than ever, Anika could use the distraction. This is something she wants to handle herself. But then the pup doesn't show up for a few days and Anika is worried something is wrong. With time running out, it's up to Anika to build a web of support strong enough to bring the dog to safety.
