Where's my puppy? by Linda Slifka - Illustrated by Margaret Middleton
This story is about a boy named Jack who really, really, really wants a puppy. Jack finally gets a puppy and brings it outside to play. As puppies tend to do, Scruffy the puppy gets into some mischief and escapes from the yard. Jack is devastated and soon the whole neighborhood is looking for Scruffy. The puppy is soon found safe and sound. Jack is very happy and has a serious conversation with his parents about staying safe.
This story was inspired by the real-life abduction of the author’s niece. Linda Slifka says this book is a way of “gently instructing young children to stay safe by not wandering from the watchful eye of their parents, even when playing close to home.”
