Hal's parents refuse to let him have a dog - until they discover the Easy Pets Dog Agency. They don't tell Hal that the clever puppy he chooses is not his for life, but only for the weekend. When Hal discovers that his pet must be returned, they run away, and are soon joined by the other dogs from the Agency, including Otto the St Bernard, Francine the Poodle, and Peke Li-Chee. A desperate chase across the country follows, as they race for their freedom.
