Mia is driving the struggle bus. Chips in bed. Toothpaste barely there. Bringing store-bought cookies to work. It's tough out there. She is a webpage editor for the Seattle Tourism Board, and she’s just working so hard, as webpage editors for tourism boards do.

She runs home in the rain and finds a dog stuck in the fence. She frees the dog, and the dog follows her home. She reluctantly invites the dog in, and they eat dinner together. The next day, she goes to the shelter to check if the dog has a microchip. The owner, Max, is not helpful, so she leaves—but her dog, who she names Russell, takes a liking to one of the dogs at the shelter.

She takes Russell to the dog park, and Russell sees that other dog there. They start playing, and Mia records a video of them. The video goes viral.

This makes Max really upset. But Mia asks Max if she can record more videos. He says no way at first, but then he realizes it’s free publicity, and he needs all the help he can get.

He comes over to check out her place to dog-proof it, and obviously, help decorate for Christmas. They go on a hike together, and everything is going great. But when she tells him he’s being too mean to his dog, he tells her to scram.

He realizes he goofed, and they agree to continue working together for the sake of the dog.

It turns out Mia used to be a doctor. Her parents show up to try to convince her to take over the family practice.

Another curveball: Max’s ex-girlfriend shows up after seeing all the buzz, which makes Mia jealous. But when she finds out that Max’s shelter is going under, they decide to work together and put on a fundraiser for dogs. It’s a smash success but doesn’t raise enough. Luckily, Mia isn’t a doctor anymore, but her parents are, and they have money, so they write a check and save the day.

Mia tells her parents she wants to be a doctor again, but not the kind they expected. She wants to be a vet.

They both realize they miss each other and show up, and they kiss.
