Samantha, a young pampered Beverly Hills socialite, is inseparable from her dog Pijo. Unsure of her life path, she unhappily follows her surgeon mother's footsteps and enrolls in a premed program.  To save her, Pijo fakes an illness and activates the secret mission of dogs; guiding Samantha on a personal quest that unleashes her true potential.

In her pursuit to uncover a cure for ailing Pijo, Samantha uncovers Shangrrrla, a school which offers a holistic approach to curing dog's illnesses. When Samantha’s controlling mother cuts off the funds for her tuition, she and Pijo move in with her Uncle Barry, a disheartened Dog Dance Instructor. To pay for their studies, Samantha and Pijo train to win a national “Dog Dancing” competition. A family is formed when her Uncle shares his secret dance moves, helping Pijo win the Grand Prize with the impossible Paw Reach Plié Triple Flip.
