Come Back, Buddy! is a story about a missing Jack Russell Terrier, the dog Buddy. Andi, her mother, and Buddy have moved from Washington state to Florida for Judy Talbot's new job. On their first day at their new house, a thunderstorm rolls in and Buddy escapes through an open door, leaving Andi terrified and heartbroken.

While she can't take off her new school to look for Buddy, she does take the time the next morning to talk to some people about her missing dog before heading off to class. Once there, she meets the younger brother of her newspaper delivery boy and Tristan offers to help her make posters and look for Buddy.

Andi learns a lot about her new town while wandering around with Tristan, trying to find Buddy. They find other dogs, including the dog of another classmate, but it looks like Buddy might be gone for good.

Until...

A cute story for younger readers, this chapter book shows how someone can find what they're looking for if they keep at it. A happy ending and the promise of additional stories with these characters is in the offing.

Come back Buddy is about a girl that moves from Washington to California and her dog runs away

Trait: Tristian is brave,nice and very helpful in finding Buddy.

The most important part is when the girl goes to school and meets Tristian.
Then they get together to find Buddy!

I reccomend this book to people who like stories about dogs.
