Rosa was Brandon's favourite when he was five, but now other interests have come between them, leaving her feeling unloved... and grumpy. When Brandon takes her outdoors one afternoon, and then forgets her, she can't follow his footprints back to the house. But a helpful chickadee, then a red squirrel, a raccoon, even a hawk, help her. As dusk falls one snowy night, Rosa gains the courage to make her way to the front porch just as Brandon comes out to find her. A bit of separation has made him realize what he almost lost. And Rosa knows from the smile on his face that he really does love her after all.
