Lexi is a pug owned by a precocious nine year old girl who with her parents have taken their fawn around the world. The dog show scene is filmed featuring world renowned pug breeder Blanche Roberts and her award winning dogs. We learn some her show winning secrets and hear about importing pug semen from Sweden to breed the best dogs. "Ices" is the prize bitch stolen out of a handlers trailer during a dog show and the dogumentary tells the dramatic rescue story.

spot along with the Lower Manhattan six story doggy day care center called
“Biscuits and Bath.” Briget Berlin was an independently wealthy
