Meet Dorothy, a loving dog with two wonderful dads. Her life is filled with long walks, bubbly bath times, and splendid dinner parties. She takes pride in helping her dads with everything, ensuring their days are filled with fun. But everything changes when her dads bring home a new addition-a noisy, floppy, screechy, smelly baby!

Determined to restore order, Dorothy tries her best to help her dads around the house, but nothing seems to work. The baby continues to disrupt their lives, and Dorothy misses the calm days when it was just her and her dads. All it takes, though, is one sweet moment for Dorothy to realize that the baby might not be so bad after all. With newfound love and understanding, Dorothy embraces the baby as her best little buddy and proudly parades her family's excellent training to the world. Proud Dog is a delightful tale of love, adaptation, and the unbreakable bond of family.
