Fran and Mark Garrison are the "proud parents" of three dachshund pups, their mom and a Great Dane named Brutus...who thinks of himself as a dainty dachsie. His identity crisis results in a series of mishaps that reduce the Garrisons' house to shambles. But once Fran starts hounding Mark to evict Brutus once and for all, it's up to the confused hound to prove himself and grow into his own fur.
