An older man ask's, "Where are you Bronte?"  His dog has passed away, but he remembers how they first became a family.  He remembers Bronte sleeping on his bed, playing with toys, and the many other fun things they did together.  He remembers when Bronte went blind.  The old man feels so lonely.  Where is Bronte now?

Tomie dePaola tells a simple but powerful emotional story about love, loss, remembrance, and overcoming the grief of a beloved dog.  McClintock's colorful cute illustrations nicely contrast the sorrow with the beautiful happy memories.
