The lonely dog wags his tail and does a silly spin. Johnny names him Tribe - and their secret friendship begins Every day after school, Johnny sneaks food and water to the woods. They chase socks, howl at butterflies, bury homework, and share the kind of laughs only best friends can have. But Tribe gets cold and wet on rainy days, and the secret starts to feel heavy.

Miss you so much, bud.
