A quick stop at a highway restaurant turns into an urgent rescue mission when Lizzie discovers a tiny black and white Shih Tzu left all alone. With a cool mask-like marking over his eyes, Bandit is undeniably adorable, but he was abandoned by his owners because he desperately needs an expensive medical operation. The Peterson family refuses to turn their backs on him, bringing Bandit home and launching a massive fundraising campaign to save his life. You will be totally inspired as Lizzie and Maria set up competing dog-walking businesses to raise the necessary cash. Bandit's brave spirit quickly wins over the hearts of everyone he meets, except for grumpy Uncle Teo, who thinks the pup is far too small and fluffy. You will cheer for Bandit as he fights through his surgery and tries to melt the heart of his biggest skeptic to find a permanent home.
