A lighthearted family comedy built around the absurd premise of a Great Dane who thinks he's a dachshund, generating physical humor and household chaos while celebrating the warmth of pet ownership.

The Garrisons are the "proud parents" of three adorable dachshund pups - and one overgrown Great Dane named Brutus, who nevertheless thinks of himself as a dainty dachsie. His identity crisis results in an uproarious series of household crises that reduce the Garrisons' house to shambles - and viewers to howls of laughter!
