After reading an article Doris wrote, a man named George Cantrell comes by her apartment to donate $10,000 to the Canine Adoption Center, the exact amount Doris stated in the story that the Center currently needs to open a new clinic. There is one caveat: as he has to go to England for two weeks, he asks Doris to look after his small dog, Tiger, while he's gone. What Doris is unaware of is that Cantrell is a retired mob boss, who his ex-associates and the police believe has hidden something important in Tiger's collar, namely access to his mob diary which would expose all the illegal actions of those ex-associates. As such, both his ex-associates, most specifically one named Benedict, and the police are both looking for Tiger and will do anything they can to get their hands on him, both for different reasons not wanting Doris to know. Both sides come up with the same plan: the old dog switcheroo. As both sides go about enacting their plan, it is never too clear who has which dog, especially as all three dogs have minds of their own. But it also becomes abundantly clear to both sides that Doris is working with Cantrell and both sides will do whatever necessary to get information directly out of her or else...
