It's the start of a new school year, and the kids are excited about their new club, Oakville Elementary School's Club for Animal Appreciation, Education, and Rehabilitation-even if their new club advisor, Mrs. Wen, doesn't share their enthusiasm. But as they meet a decidedly unusual crew of animals, including a bearded dragon who won't eat, a therapy pig named Truffles, and a prickly porcupine who needs first aid, the kids and adults alike learn that when people help animals, the animals help them right back.
