Heinz is a Pittsburgh dog. What does that mean? What does it mean to be a Pittsburgh dog?

It means he’s friendly, generous, caring, daring and head-over-heels in love with this great city. In our story, Heinz decides that a certain, sort of famous visitor—who happens to be a big, yellow, rubber, floating frog—needs to break free and have some fun, Pittsburgh style. And if you know anything about the “Burgh,” that can mean a lot of different things.

We meet Heinz in his favorite spot, not too far away from the house where he lives in the neighborhood of Mount Washington, high above Pittsburgh’s famous three rivers.

Heinz is watching and waiting for this big—and I mean BIG—frog to arrive. He is planning a truly fun day for frog but he has noooooooo idea how utterly difficult, impossible, challenging, wet, scary, magical, messy and delicious this day is going to be.
