When a noisy five-year-old with too many Barbies takes over his house, Hank the rescue dog is certain of one thing: it's Molly's fault ... and she has to go.
Hank has always taken his job seriously. Protect the house. Guard the couch. Keep everything exactly the way it should be. But when Molly and her dad move in, nothing makes sense anymore. The noise level is unacceptable. The mess is everywhere. And somehow, Hank is the one getting blamed.
Clearly, this situation requires a plan.
But Molly isn't just loud-she's hurting. Her world has been turned upside down, and even Hank can sense that something isn't right. As the days fill with chaos, questionable snack choices, and more than one Barbie-related disaster, Hank starts to wonder if getting rid of Molly is really the answer.
Meanwhile, his boy, Kaden, is facing struggles of his own, trying to make the right choices at home, at school, and on the basketball court. And as everything begins to unravel, Hank must decide if protecting his family means holding onto what was ... or stepping up in a way he never expected.
Because sometimes the hardest part of being a good dog isn't guarding what you love. It's learning to share it.
