What is If only we had a helicopter about?
Midge and his friends have a brand-new four-legged companion, but New Dog still needs a proper name.

With plenty of imagination, mischief and laughter, even an ordinary day becomes extraordinary. But can the friends solve New Dog’s biggest problem and choose a name everyone likes?
