Teddy is a gifted dog. Raised in a cabin by a poet named Sylvan, he grew up listening to sonnets read aloud and the comforting clicking of a keyboard. Although Teddy understands words, Sylvan always told him there are only two kinds of people in the world who can hear Teddy speak: poets and children.
Then one day Teddy learns that Sylvan was right. When Teddy finds children trapped in a snowstorm, he tells them that he will bring them home—and without fear they understand him. They follow him to a cabin in the woods, where the dog used to live with Sylvan . . . only now his owner is gone.
