After a difficult break-up Poppy is keen to put the past behind her and what's better than some relaxing time with her aunt in the picturesque Cornish village of West Par. But life at her aunt Flora's Dogs' Home is anything but relaxing. When a poor little pup is stranded at the gates Poppy takes them for a check-up at the local vet hoping against hope they'll be fine. And there she meets Mack: the vet who is so charming and experienced with the dogs but selfish and - dare she say it - money-grabbing with his clients. But underneath that cold exterior she's sure there's more to the story. If only she could convince him to open up. Because without him the future of Wagging Tails isn't so assured. . .
