When the animal shelter Brandon volunteers at (how cute is he?) is too full to take a litter of abandoned puppies, Nikki decides to look after them until the shelter has more room. Simple, right? UMMM NO!

Her parents won't allow dogs in the house so Nikki has to hide the pups at home and take them to school in secret ... but the dogs are a lot harder work than they look - and messier too!
