Gina From Siberia

Gina, a terrier, loves to play in the pine forests of her home in Novosibirsk. But one day her human family tells her they must leave right away. They set off on a long journey by bus, plane, and train, and arrive in New York. The city snow is gray, the neighborhood dogs sound funny, and a monster rumbles beneath the sidewalk. Gina stays in her family’s apartment, sure she’ll never be happy again, until a big friendly dog named Victor encourages her to come shows her around the city, and everything begins to change.
