Hamlet, Pygmalion and Podge are three little pigs who each want a dog more than anything else in the world. The problem is they just can"t decide what sort to get. So Mr. Pinkerton at the pet shop suggests they take a dog or two home to try. But the first dog is AWFUL! The second is DREADFUL! And the third is TERRIBLE! All the pigs want is a pet that is small, clever, playful, friendly, warm, gentle, loving -- and who doesn"t bark, dig, chew, lick, howl, wander or dribble. Will they ever find the perfect pet?
