Beloved dog Jacoby, who's helped numerous children deal with their anxiety and has helped them with their reading skills, is very sick. Seeing him in such pain, his owner Madame Ève decides to take him to the vet to put him own. As she learns to live without her dear companion, Madame Ève is comforted by the soothing memories of him. The children Jacoby helped miss him and decide to throw him a goodbye party. Slowly but surely, without ignoring the pain, or the sorrow, life goes on.
