When little Ricky Lee finds a puppy on the side of the road, he takes him home and names him Tako. Ricky is allowed to keep Tako, but only if he is a good little dog. Tako wants more than anything to be a good dog, but when greedy Mr. Prichard hatches a plan to put the Lee family's bakery out of business, Tako may be the only one who can stop him. But to do so, he'll have to break the rules.
