Tatum Comes Home by the TikTok and Instagram sensation hi.this.is. is a feel-good adventure about a charismatic and cuddly pet, his human family, and how love heals.

It’s late May, and Maine is blooming with the crispness of pine in air and the rich scents of spring. In this fairytale woodland city lives Tatum, a sweet rust-colored rescue dog, who is enjoying a trip to the hardware store with his dad when a heavy thunderstorm blows in. Frightened, Tatum scampers off to hide—and buries himself beneath a blanket on a nearby truck.

When Tatum wakes, hungry and confused, he’s hours from home and his family franticly searching for him. But as fate would have it, Tatum’s presence is the anchor this kind truck owner needs, who promises to get him back to his family. Will seeking help from an old vet friend help the truck owner find the love he has been evading for so long?

Tatum, with his deep golden eyes and trusting gaze, has a knack for making friends—and for letting humans know exactly what’s on his mind. Everyone Tatum meets on his journey are eager to do their part to get him home. And in turn, Tatum has a way of nudging everyone he encounters to overcome hurdles, seek out second chances, and find—or make—the families they need.
The millions of Tiktok and Instagram fans who love Tatum’s distinctive quirks and hilarious voice are in for a treat with this warm, emotional adventure.
