Poor little pup.
When a nice woman finds him in the woods with no collar or tag, she takes him home with her. She soon realizes the pup wants a lot of attention, and she already cares for many other animals.
The woman reaches out to a local pet shelter to help her find the poor puppy a good home where he will be happy.
After spending a lonely night in the shelter, the puppy meets a very special boy who gives him a new name, a new collar, and a very special lap to call his own!
