I find it interesting that Mouse will be with Harry in Mirrormirror because he is now offically Maggie's service dog and pretty much stays by her side. Is this a hint that something happens to Maggie and Mouse and Harry go looking for her in an alternate universe?

My theory: there is no Maggie in the Mirrorverse.
Susan & Harry's story was just very very different.

That could be true, however it still doesn't explain it because Harry still wouldn't have taken Mouse away from Maggie. The only way it works is from the get go this is a different story about a totally different Harry. In other words there is no time travel or dimension crossing as speculated based on what happened in the original Trek story. Maybe it's a fever dream of some kind? Or it isn't Mirrormirror at all but more of "It's a Wonderful Life" with Uriel playing the role of Clarence the Angel? Harry wishes he'd never been born for whatever reason, and Uriel shows him just what life would be without him. For starters that would mean no little Maggie, and Mouse really is a mouse of a dog?

It could just be the Mouse from the other universe, maybe he's the only one that realizes that Harry is indeed a real Harry, a good Harry.

That's a really good point, maybe Mouse will turn out to be the "Spock" in the story? However one other thing, Jim doesn't mention Lara. I am sure he doesn't want to give too much away for the up and coming story, but at the same time I won't be shocked to find at the end of Twelve Months, that both Harry and Lara figure out a way out of getting married.
KurtinStGeorge:
My guess about Mouse being with Harry in the Mirror Mirror world is pretty simple. Something takes Maggie out the room that she Harry and Mouse are in. Yes, it is rare for Maggie to go anywhere without Mouse. This can be in someplace she feels safe like in Harry's castle or the Carpenter Home. That is one solution. Perhaps Maggie has a cold and Harry takes Mouse for a walk because Maggie can't. The exact mechanism that separates Mouse from Maggie isn't important.
Harry gets summoned or pulled into Mirror Mirror World and power of the summoning pulls Mouse in due to his proximity to Harry. Perhaps the summoning opens up a portal and Mouse jumps through it to follow Harry, though that image is more like City on the Edge of Forever than the Mirror Mirror episode of Star Trek TOS.
Unlike traveling to the Nevernever where time moves forward even though it can move at a different rate, I don't see a reason why at the end of Mirror Mirror, Harry and Mouse might return moments or only a few minutes after they left.
Totally separate issue, but I wonder if Mab would notice that her Knight was missing and feel this loss almost instantly? This assumes the part of Winter that is within Harry travels with him to Mirror Mirror world. If that part of Winter remains behind it should go back to Mab which would probably make her believe that Harry is dead. Maybe Mab or Molly will perform a summoning spell that brings him back.
