They go to the shelter and find the little dog and bring him back home. But instead of keeping him, Mini posts signs around the neighborhood about the found dog. Soon the little dog’s owner shows up and is so happy to get his dog back. Now Mini and her mother go back to the shelter to find a new dog, one that will belong to Mini for real.
