When a family of toy poodles is abandoned in a box, a flood separates Pansy from her sisters and brothers. The pup washes up at the feet of James, an itinerant singer and street magician, and his friend and shelter-mate, an intuitive rabbit named Winkie. The two show her loving care and are determined to help her survive, but they can’t grant Pansy’s greatest wish: to find her family. Pansy’s perilous journey home brings her a diverse array of new friends, each with a special gift for helping her along. Together, the little band experiences a variety of adventures–some dangerous, some breathtaking, and some downright magical. Each new and enthralling encounter teaches Pansy a valuable skill or lesson, and each moves her closer to her goal. Little does she realize that as she searches for her real family, she is creating a brand-new and precious one by learning to give and receive love. With a touch of magic–or perhaps just a deepening knowledge of her own heart and skills–Pansy finally traverses the rainbow and finds her pot of gold –in the form of a little girl named Avery, who is destined to become her best friend and fellow adventurer.
