Six weeks of summer vacation and home alone while the rain patters on the roof. It wouldn't even be that bad if Greta had a dog that occasionally laid its warm head on her lap. But she can only dream of that because of Uncle Edward's house rules. Animals without feathers are strictly forbidden. However, before Greta can let her spirits drop, her cousin Owl comes to visit, and Owl knows exactly what to do: they start a dog-sitting service and walk other people's dogs! And soon, the business is thriving.
