Charlie’s life is a series of obstacles, and one of them is an uncontrollable urge to be sick when his anxiety overwhelms him. Ralph is an unpredictable rescue dog with a lot of energy but very few manners. The two make an unlikely pair but are the best of friends.
When Ralph causes a scene by following his boy to school, it’s suggested the two join dog agility training group. Ralph is a natural - zipping in, around, and over obstacles at lightning speed. Agility training is a fun way for the pair to bond, but when Charlie even considers joining the other handlers at the big contest, his stomach begins to turn. Can the duo take a leap and cross the finish line?
