Based on a true story, this tale tells the story of a homeless dog from the Dominican Republic who finds her forever home when she least expects it. This lovable potcake, Rumba, spends her days roaming the island for food and shelter, when by chance she befriends a sweet young girl named Megan who is on vacation with her dad. Megan quickly discovers that Rumba has nowhere to call home, and is determined to figure out a way to rescue her. Working quickly and with compassion, Megan and her dad arrange medical care and travel plans to bring their new furry friend home to New York City. It's a scary but exciting adventure that includes a full belly, new fur siblings, and a big city, but most of all, a warm loving home where she can truly thrive.
