Welcome to the Puppy Place--where every puppy finds a home!Bandit is an
adorable black and white Shih Tzu with a mask-like marking over his eyes.
Lizzie discovers him at a highway rest stop restaurant. He was abandoned by
his owers because he needs an operation and they couldn't afford it. Lizzie
and her family take Bandit in and begin fundraising for the expensive
procedure. Maria and her Uncle Teo are also a big help. Maria and Lizzie
establish competing dog-walking businesses to raise funds. Everyone who meets
Bandit falls instantly in love - except for Uncle Teo, who thinks he's a
little too small and fluffy. In the end, Bandit's operation is a success.
Uncle Teo is won over by the resilient puppy and agrees to adopt him.
