Synopsis

The program focuses on a bearded collie named Jack (played by Chip, voiced by Park Bench), whose Look Who's Talking -style narration provided his perspective of his newly adopted family. Carolyn Dunn and Richard Waugh portrayed Mary and Bill Poole, parents of Mark (Gage Knox) and Jessica (Alex Appel). [1] [2]

The pilot showed how Jack feigned an injury in a grocery store parking lot to entice Jessica into taking him to the family house. [3] The family collectively decided to take care of him until the injury is healed, but Jack became a permanent resident after disrupting a family argument and saving Mark from a neighborhood gang.

The second – and last – episode to be aired had Jack being kicked out of the Poole home after ruining Bill's vacation plans; the rest of the episode was spent on the family's search for the dog after Bill had a change of heart.
