Mooch is a lovable and huggable pooch who happens to stir up more trouble than bees in a hornet’s nest. Mooches love of pies gets him kicked out of Mrs. Duffy's bake shop. And his curiosity of toy soldiers gets him scooted off the premises from Billy Bobby Ray’s house on a toy tank. Later, Mooches stroll around the neighborhood park leads him to knocking off Mr. Peabody’s top hat and ruining Jennifer Lopez’s new pink fur coat. Mooch feels like nobody loves him and he is unwanted so he runs away. He jumps on a train and heads to a new town. Mooch finds a barn to take refuge for the night. The next day, Mooch meets a horse named Choppers, a baby goat named Ginger, a family of pigs and a boy named Oatey P. Wilkins. Will Mooch be kicked out of the Wilkin’s house too or has he found a boy who is just as incorrigible as he is? Mooch and Oatey are near sighted and can’t see great. Together they stir up more trouble than a bear running through a camp site looking for food.
