Kateri O'Leary has been searching for her 'thing' - her one true passion in life - and she thinks she's finally found it. But as she tries to get her rescue dog, Belle, ready for the Show Dog ring, life keeps getting in the way. Kateri's family has money troubles, her absent-minded mom causes major mix-ups, and her pet mouse is sulking. She can't keep up with school work, has a fight with a friend, and a bully named Clive is a thorn in her side. On top of it all, Kateri's Red Setter is an escape artist. Kateri thinks she finally is ready for the Show Dog ring...but does her Red Setter, Belle, have a different plan? ?
