As Abby scratches and pats Opal's tummy, she feels the new pups waiting to be born. Abby and her yellow lab, Opal, love to inhabit their own small world beneath the lace tablecloth that Abby's grandmother crocheted. As Abby scratches and pats Opal's tummy, she feels the new pups waiting to be born. When Grandpa Jack must go to the hospital with Abby's mother because he's hurt his leg, Abby is left to look after Opal. When the dog goes into labor, Abby must find the courage to help.
