His father and stepmother won't permit it. They don't understand how unhappy he is.

Benny complies with Bess Rutledge, a 70-year-old woman who has dreamed of being successful the Westminster Dog Show all her life.

Benny is attracted in to the world of dog shows and becomes persuaded he has found the perfect way to get his mother's attention. If they can get Westminster with either McCreery or Breaker, he is sure she'll be proud of him finally. But first he needs to convince the reluctant Bess to come out of retirement, Benny is victorious Bess over when she recognizes a link between Benny's relationship with his mom and her own indifferent mothering when her expanded son was Benny's age group.
