"Stressful new adventures provide opportunities for three rescue pets to comfort and support each other. A series of tersely told episodes that are spread out over the pages in easily digestible bits follows an adorable trio: a cat named Tiger and two dogs named Moose and Bear. . . In Pate's luminous, freely brushed illustrations, the feelings of the very young-looking animals are patent on their expressive faces at each moment . . . Sweet, low-key lessons in togetherness."–Kirkus Reviews
