When Poky the dog and his humans move into a new house, Poky befriends a hamster left behind by the previous family. The humans, thinking it's a mouse, set traps, but Poky trips them. To find out what's going on, the humans set up a spycam, then offer the hamster a home. Lively illustrations energize the pleasant but quiet story.
