"Anika strives to rescue a stray dog with the help of some new friends and her Girl Scout troop"--

Animal-loving Anika longs for a pet, but her parents doubt she's ready. When she finds a stray dog, she takes matters into her own hands. As school drama and family stress mount, Anika must rally support and prove she's responsible enough to rescue the pup--and maybe earn her parents' trust in the process.
