Relayed in the first person, a young daughter of divorced parents explains how she sometimes lives with her dad and sometimes her mom. This lifestyle brings many inconsistencies for the protagonist, but one constant is her faithful pet dog, Fred, who always goes with her. Fred is very mischievous, but the family agrees to teach Fred to behave so that the young girl can keep him. The cartoon-style illustrations add appeal to this poignant story that many children will be able to relate to personally.
