Veterinarian Grampa runs the Bed and Biscuit, whose permanent residents include Ernest the pig and Milly the cat. After rescuing a puppy from a barn fire, Grampa is distracted with the puppy's care. When Milly gets jealous and runs away, it is up to Ernest to find her. Told with humor, the story celebrates family, no matter how unusual.
