Synopsis
Puddles,
the
poodle,
has
been
falsely
imprisoned
at
the
pound
or
so
the
pompous
puppy
claims.
Cellmate
Scram,
a
streetwise
mutt
who
has
spent
most
of
its
life
at
the
shelter,
patiently
puts
up
with
Puddles’s
prejudice
against
non-
purebred
dogs
and
overwhelming
desire
to
be
everyone’s
favorite.
After
failing
to
catch
the
eye
of
a
passerby,
Puddles
breaks
down
and
admits
that
it
was
the
last
in
its
litter
to
be
picked
for
a
new
home.
Plus,
the
new
home
wasn’t
as
perfect
as
Puddles
thought
it
should
be.
The
pup
rivaled
with
their
cat
and
their
toddler
for
their
owners’
undivided
attention.
Scram
tries
to
comfort
Puddles,
when
they
are
interrupted
by
the
arrival
of
Puddles’s
family,
joyful
to
claim
their
cherished
runaway.
Scram
is
astonished to learn that Puddles ran away from a loving home.
