description: Love and the leader of the pack...
  
  After Selena Milano adopts sixty pounds of rambunctious puppy, her disorganized household starts to fly apart at the seams. Though her twelve-year-old son, Drew, worships the carpet Axel chews on, their neighbors threaten to get them evicted if their four- legged demolition derby isn't brought under control.
  
  Enter dog-Svengali Jack Quinn, the animal behaviorist charged with bringing discipline to their bohemian existence. First he trains their dog, then he charms Drew. Next the headstrong single mom gets an out-of- character urge to invite the handsome Quinn into her home for dinner and maybe a little more. Can this be the end of her precious independence?
