What is It's a Dog's Life about?

Russ the dog loves walking Lula to the end of the lane each morning, where she gives him cuddles before catching the school bus. But Lula has a birthday wish: she wants a horse. Russ cannot understand why a horse would be better than a dog, especially when he is always by her side. As Lula explores life on the farm, Russ discovers that friendship, loyalty and love matter more than being the biggest or most exciting animal around.
