Mindy Kim is having the BEST. DAY. EVER. IT'S HER BIRTHDAY! Not only is she having a fun party with her friends, but she's also getting the most perfect present from her dad: a puppy! Mindy has wanted a dog ever since she can remember. She knows that a dog will be just the thing to cheer her dad up too. But Mindy quickly finds out that cute, cuddly little Theodore is a LOT more work than she thought. He doesn't like to sit, he isn't so sure of other dogs, and he breaks a lot of things. And Mindy is worried that Theodore won't make fourlegged friends of his own. With some extra love (and some tasty treats!), Mindy is on a mission to help the newest member of the Kim family adjust to his new life. Will she succeed? Or will it turn into a furry fiasco?
