GREAT FALLS, Va., Jan. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- We all have the need to belong. People always take pride in the circle they are in, may it be at home or in school. Like humans, animals also have that same need. Have a glimpse into the world of a dog that tried to fit in, did not succeed, but soon found his way to a family where he belonged.
Mickey was a little poodle who worked in Las Vegas. His master was an entertainer and magician named Mr. Hugo. Performing with Mickey were four other poodles who all had amazing talents. They entertained the audience every night, and they made Mr. Hugo proud. However, Mickey was the clumsy one among the five. The smells of food make him forget about his job causing him to perform poorly. His career came to a halt when a trick went wrong and Mr. Hugo threw him out of the house. Travel Mickey's road and discover the meaning of true acceptance.
