Ben, a baseball pro aiming for the major league, is away to play. While he's gone, his dog, Jake, escapes. At the same time, Megan has moved to the town with her daughter. The daughter is sad because she misses their old home. To cheer her up, after much hesitation, Megan decides to get a dog. They go to a shelter for rescued dogs where the daughter immediately takes a liking to Jake, who ended up there. Chaos ensues at Megan's home as Jake is very mischievous. To make matters worse, Ben shows up and wants his dog back. They work out a schedule so that the daughter doesn't get too sad again.
An average romantic movie that holds up as such. However, one can discuss the title since Jake is hardly a puppy.
