When Elliot's dad marries Jasmine's mom, the family pets must learn to get along. While Gizmo, Elliot's guinea pig, is plotting a "dastardly Evil Plan," Jasmine's enthusiastic corgi Wedgie is busy protecting his pack. The titular animal characters have distinct and hilarious voices as each narrates in alternating chapters. Script-style dialogue and comical illustrations add to the fun in this series-opener.
