Maggie knows the ins and outs of Dr. Mac's animal clinic, where her grandmother works. But when a flood of sick, mistreated puppies arrives, Maggie realizes they're from an illegal puppy mill. Determined to shut down the dark operation, Maggie teams up with her grandmother and the clinic volunteers to expose the truth and free the captive dogs.
