The story of the Lost Little Puppy is much more than a story about a girl and her dog. From a child's eye, the book explores the fear and helplessness associated with discovering a loved one has a serious illness. The book has managed to express the child's perspective of the bewildering sequence of events; from diagnosis, treatment, remission, and finally death. At the same time it conveys that beyond a tragic diagnosis, there is still much in life, including love, achievement, recognition, renewal, and finally legacy.
