The Vandyck family lives in a cozy home in Boston where they dote on their dog, Wendy, and her precious puppies. When they suddenly face a cross country move, the family has to quickly find home for all the pups. Nugget, the runt of the litter, impulsively runs away and gets lost on the maze of Boston streets. He quickly learns that not everyone is as kind as the Vandycks, and an unfortunate run-in with another animal leaves him disfigured, no longer the cute puppy he once was. Finding homes with a porcupine at the Franklin Park Zoo, a single mother and her daughter, and a large, chaotic working class family, Nugly learns to navigate his new life, searching for a family to give all his love while finding a way to love himself. The perfect choice for fans of the Puppy Tales books.
