Plot Summary

Buddy is starting his work as a therapy dog at Four Lakes Elementary School, where Connor attends and Mom is the principal. On his very first day, he accidentally knocks down a little kid on the playground, convincing the first grade teacher that school is no place for a dog. Then the fire alarm goes off. The school is evacuated, but there's no fire...it's a false alarm. Who could have set it?

Buddy fans will cheer as their favorite dog detective solves another case with his own great doggy style.
