Meggie is no ordinary dog. She is a lady of royal roots, refined taste, and a fierce need for order. Her life runs exactly as it should until a feline intruder appears in the household, bringing unexpected chaos. Outraged, Meggie writes letters, lays down the law, and finally makes a big decision. She sets off into the world to find where she truly belongs. Sometimes, the journey away is the best way back.

This gentle and humorous story about jealousy, courage, and finding one's place shows that family can take many forms and that an open heart is more important than perfect order.

The book also includes reflection questions and playful activities after the story to develop empathy and reading skills.
