Every year, some of our pets wander away from home, some never to return. Sometimes you get lucky (like our family) and they come home. Why do they ever leave, where do they go? They must have a reason to leave their safe surroundings of good food, fresh water, companionship, and the like. This is the story of Nika, her desire to find her big brother, and the heroic measures that were taken by both humans and her newfound animal friends to save her from certain doom.
