Wishing for a puppy of your very own is tough when your mom thinks the family is just not ready for the responsibility. Charles and Lizzie Peterson are constantly proving they are experts at fostering, but they still dream of keeping a dog forever. Everything gets incredibly complicated when Goldie arrives at their front door. She is a beautiful, sweet golden retriever who is much younger than the dogs they usually watch. Because she is just a baby, Goldie has no idea how to follow the rules, listen to commands, or be a polite pet. You will laugh at her silly mistakes as Charles and Lizzie take on the huge challenge of teaching her basic manners. You will be completely hooked watching the siblings pour their hearts into training this bouncy retriever, hoping to prove they have what it takes to be permanent dog owners.
