Bella and Henry have come to Barkington to visit their grandparents but they just can't seem to get along. One afternoon, after yet another squabble, a mysterious dog appears in the garden who brings the family to the Paw Pad, the magical dog shelter.
When a child arrives, they choose a lead which magically pairs them with their perfect puppy. Bella is paired with Bertie, a sweet cockapoo. Their parents enter the siblings into a treasure hunt and Bella and Henry are desperate to win the prize: tickets to the local water park. But the competition can only be won in pairs. And not long after the start whistle, Bella and Henry realize that another pair are cheating!
Can Bertie help Bella and Henry to stop the cheaters? And will they all be able to work together?
