Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Betty Jo (Linda Kaye) thinks her pet dog (played by a pre-Benji Higgins) is the prettiest pooch on earth. Thus it is that she enters a picture of the dog in a contest held by a pet-food company. The fun begins when the mutt is chosen as one of the five finalists--and the winner will achieve stardom on a dog-food commercial (providing a golden opportunity for the typical mid-1960s sitcom digs at the Madison Avenue advertising world).
