Alfie Wolfe thinks his twin sister is the biggest pain in the world and they are constantly getting into fights, until he observes how patiently the German shepherd Crosby at the Hound Hotel behaves with his super annoying little "brother" puppy, Bruno.

Alfie Wolfe is put out because his twin sister is actually stronger than he is--but not even Alfreeda can deal with Murphy, a powerful Rottweiler with an obsession about the cow next door, by herself.

When they are not fighting with each other Alfie Wolfe and his twin sister Alfreeda help out with their mother's dog hotel business--but just now he is faced with a friendly pug called Twinkles, and an aggressive Golden Retriever, named Gracie, who seems to regard him as a threat.

Their family is going away without them, and Rocky and Daisy are apprehensive about spending a week at a kennel.

Even though Daisy Dawson is late for school, again, she can't help but stop to free a butterfly trapped in a web. And when she does, something amazing happens! Now Daisy can understand everything animals say, from the farm dog, Boom, to the classroom gerbils, to a singing-and dancing ant. And it's a lucky thing, too, when Boom goes missing, Daisy conspires with a horse and squirrel to come to the rescue.

On his first stay at a kennel, Spike is worried about being left in a strange place, but when it is time to go home, he wants to stay.

Otis is not happy being left at the Misty Meadow dog hotel, but after running away, he is happy to find his way back.
