Mike, an Irish setter with champion lineage, struggles to fit in. Despite Danny Pickett and his father's efforts, it's Mike's own journey that reveals his true potential. Can this misfit pup rise to the challenge and prove he's a champion in his own right? Discover the heartwarming tale of determination and unexpected triumph.

From the publisher

For all his champion Irish setter blood, Mike was a misfit. Danny Pickett and his father tried everything to train him, but it was the pup himself who finally proved that he was a champion. “A worthy sequel…a rousing story.” – “Library Journal”
