Skunk wants to be a dog. Everyone loves dogs. And every dog seems to have exactly what he's looking for: a home and a family. When Skunk sees a "lost" poster for Max the dog, he wonders if he can pass himself off as the missing pet. He enlists the help of three neighborhood critters-a racoon, a cat, and a squirrel-who train him in the art of being a dog with hilarious results. But, uh-oh, there's just one thing Skunk didn't account for.
