Movie is all's bout Mariah Carey being perfect. She wants a pure bred dog. So the family uses a stray that of course is just a horrible dog compared to the pet shop dog. Nice messaging. Once Mariah proves herself because she still wanted a dog after having to deal with the uglier dog the father takes her to the pet shop to get the better dog. No joke. We are supposed to be moved to tears when she eventually lets a different girl take the pure bred instead of her taking it home. The parents then say I guess we'll just keep the mutt as if a pet isn't a responsibility but hey after being hated by everyone it's run away so maybe it'll turn up. Mariah wouldn't even let the dog sleep in a dog bed. Rather keep it in a shelf high up so the dog couldn't reach. Craziest movie I ever saw lol. If you want your dogs to hate shelter dogs and love pet shop dogs this is your gem.
