About this book
Near the Brooklyn Bridge, young newspaper seller Seth Barrows carries the small white dog he regards as his family. When another boy finds an advertisement asking for information about Seth, his companions assume he has committed a crime. Their accusations frighten him, turning a lawyer's search into a threat he cannot understand. James Otis builds this children's story around Seth's loyalty to Snip and the uncertainty of a boy trying to support them both.
The country offers a different kind of encounter. Aunt Hannah praises Seth's work, gives him breakfast, and invites him and Snip to stay. Seth longs for a home but worries about being a burden, while Gladys plays with Snip. Readers will find a story of friendship and practical kindness, with household tasks, plans for a garden, and a child's guarded trust giving its lessons a concrete setting.
