When Joanie first encounters Masterpiece, he's curled up in an alley and she mistakes him for (of all things!) a cat.

No, Masterpiece is a world-famous poodle, who has been in movies and advertisements and has been seen hobnobbing with celebrities. So how did Masterpiece go from a palatial apartment in New York City to an alley in a small town in New Jersey? He was dognapped! And now not only does the dognapper want him back, but his former owner is offering a big reward. Masterpiece knows he should want to go home to the luxury of his old life. But nobody's ever loved him the way Joanie loves him. What's a dog to do?
