The Little Red Puppy Has a Big Dream

Lucky puppy Stella lives in a beautiful home with her forever parents, Alexis and James, and her furry brothers, Leroy and Harry. Life seems perfect until Stella’s nighttime dreams, and where they take her, bring up some serious questions. As Stella tries to answer them, a vague memory of someone in her dream returns to her. Suddenly, Stella remembers a picture that may explain the mystery, but she has no idea where to find it. With the help of her siblings, Stella sets off in search of the proof she needs, but in the end, she discovers much more through her delightful adventure—the importance of family and the meaning of love.
