Meet Hugo: the loyal and lovable family dog that would do just about anything to keep his owners happy. A very Good Dog, all of the time.

Meet King: the newest puppy in town! Always full of energy and ready to make new friends, King is still learning the ropes of how to be a Good Dog.

Meet Lulu: Lights! Camera! Action! Lulu is an Instagram star with an affinity for all things fancy—make sure her fur and collar look perfect in that photo! Always a Good Dog, especially with her owner Jasmine.

When these three doggy day care pals come together for an unlikely adventure away from their owners, a small taste of being just a little bit bad starts a hilarious series of events none of them saw coming!
