Hines, a curious white bichon frise in her black-and-gold paw-print bandana, sets off from her front porch on a car ride into the city — and spends the rest of the book discovering what makes Pittsburgh Pittsburgh:
The rivers and bridges — she learns Pittsburgh is the "City of Bridges," meets the three rivers (Allegheny, Monongahela, Ohio) by name at the Point, hears the story of Fort Pitt and how the city got its name, and counts bridges as she and her person cross one on foot (learning there are 446 of them — more than any other U.S. city).
Getting up the hill — she rides the Duquesne Incline up Mount Washington and takes in the skyline from the overlook, marveling at the city laid out "like a puzzle."
Famous Pittsburgh names — a walk through the Strip District introduces Heinz, U.S. Steel, PNC Bank, Dick's Sporting Goods, and American Eagle, then lands her at Primanti Bros. for her first fry-stuffed sandwich.
Steelers black and gold — she goes to a game at Acrisure Stadium, gets her own Terrible Towel, and realizes the team's colors match her own bandana.
A quiet ending — as the sun sets over the rivers and bridges, Hines curls up sleepy in her person's arms, having learned Pittsburgh's rivers and bridges "from dusk until dawn." The closing page recaps everything she learned in one rhyming wrap-up.
