Based on the amazing true story of "the world's most valuable dog," a heartfelt comedy adventure about a famous big-city poodle who finds a new life alongside a small-town girl.
When lonely, overlooked Joanie Dayton first encounters Masterpiece in a dirty alley, she mistakes him for (of all things) a stray cat. But after cleaning him up back home, she discovers her new friend is, in fact, a miniature poodle. A very grateful miniature poodle.
What Joanie doesn't know is that Masterpiece isn't any ordinary dog. Masterpiece is actually a world-famous celebrity, a dog who's been on TV shows and magazine covers and spends his summers traveling the world with the rich and famous. So how did Masterpiece go from a palatial apartment in New York City to an alley in small town New Jersey? He was dognapped! And then escaped! And it was Joanie, of all people, who found him. Now, not only does the angry dognapper want to nab Masterpiece back, but his former owner is offering a reward for his return. A big reward. A reward that could change Joanie's life forever--if she can somehow find the strength to give up the only best friend she's ever had.
