When private investigator Bernie Little and his loyal dog Chet take a job guarding a pampered show dog, they have no idea what they're in for. Their well-heeled client suspects foul play, and with good reason - this is no ordinary dog, but a rare, priceless breed worth a fortune. As Bernie and Chet dig deeper, they find themselves enmeshed in a high-stakes mystery where the only thing more dangerous than the shadowy threats are Bernie's own personal demons. Can this dynamic duo crack the case before it's too late?
