Knowing that he was adopted, Silas began to wonder about where other people and animals come from. As he processed his own adoption story, he often asked his parents about their parents and how the family fit together for him.

From the moment he came home from the hospital, he formed an instant bond with Buster. Patient and gentle, Buster allowed Silas to place toys on him, roughhouse, and play-always going along with his antics.

One day, while riding in the car, Silas asked, "Where are Buster's parents?"

His simple question sparked a meaningful conversation about adoption. His parents explained how pets, like people, are adopted from different situations. Silas realized that he and Buster were not so different after all.
