Louise and Milo find a stick at their favorite park. They play fetch with Stick over and over again. Milo doesn't understand why Louise loves throwing Stick so much, but he is determined to bring it back each and every time. Then Louise pretends to throw Stick and Milo races off only to discover that he's gone too far astray while searching. He doesn't realize that Stick was never thrown! Not only is Stick "lost" to Milo, but Milo is lost as well.
While Louise is searching for her lost dog, Milo is searching for Stick. Their paths nearly cross down the street, around the neighborhood, and at the train station with comical results. Then Milo continues searching on a trek that takes him around the world with special appearances in the newspaper, on TV, and even a sky banner towed by an airplane. This picture book takes a lost pet story and twists it in a safe and silly way. Milo is missing Louise and Louise is missing Milo, but eventually, they are reunited.
