Harry Cat who lives with Tucker Mouse in a drainpipe in the Times Square subway station, is an unlikely kind of adoptive father for a soggy, homeless, New York puppy. But strange things happen in that drainpipe, as readers of The Cricket in Times Square know.

Tucker and Harry set about being solicitous guardians, and all is well until the pup grows too big for the drainpipe. A home must be found for him -- but where? Surely not with Max, leader of the Bryant Park pack of strays! If only Miss Catherine, ladylike pet cat of Mr. Smedley, the music teacher, could be persuaded to accept an addition to the family.
