The young narrator is devastated when he accidentally allows his family dog and best friend, Max, to escape. Upset when he can't find him, he decides to take his momma's advice and ask God to reunite him with Max. Though God doesn't answer his prayer right away, he ultimately finds that God had a plan all along - one that was even better than he imagined. Christians of all ages - children through adults - will be able to relate to the narrator's struggle of trying to trust in a plan that is sometimes difficult to see.
