What happens when a new baby moves inand the doted-on older sibling is a pampered pooch
People stop to say, Oh, what a cutie patootie baby!
What Is it not clear I am the patootie.
Follow the adorable puppy Hazel through a typical day at home, where she rules the roost. Check out the dozens of toys, the nifty stroller, the comfy places to take her (many) naps, the various tasty snacks, and most of all, lots of quality time with her girl, Bea. Together, Hazel and Bea are sensational. Until the baby arrives, that is, and everything changes. Now Hazel isnt always the center of attentioneven Nana barely has time for a cuddle. Things have gone too far! But when Hazel runs off to hide, the family is desperate to find her, and Hazel is reminded just how much she is loved. In this endearing comedy for dog lovers and expanding families from a stellar creative team, theres room for everyone in the hug circleand messy new arrivals who drop enticing crumbs turn out to be not so bad after all.
