Synopsis

Buster's in big trouble. He's been dragged to Dog Court for breaking one of the most sacred of all dog rules: Never ever talk to a human, or let a human know how smart you really are. But he swears he had a good reason! The boy he's been taking care of, Tonio, needed his help in a big way. You see, Tonio is afraid all the time—afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing, afraid of making a fool of himself or (even worse) hurting someone else's feelings. His doctor thinks having a therapy dog will help his anxiety—and Buster wants to help. He really wants to help. Even if it means breaking the rules...

Buster is on a mission to be the best service dog to his human, Tonio. Tonio suffers from crippling anxiety and panic attacks. At first, the pair seem to be opposites.

Buster has trouble with this, wanting to help th......more
