The lost pup is wearing a collar with a tag that leads back to his owners, but calls go unanswered. Lizzie and Charles know what they have to do and take the pup back to Puppy Place.

At Puppy Place, the kids try to come up with a name for the beagle and settle on “Buddy” because he’s already proven to be a buddy to them. Lizzie checks in with the owner, who confirms that Buddy was surrendered due to a recent move that has caused the pup and previous owner to become separated. Charles uses his charm and social skills to quickly make friends with Buddy and build trust with the scared pup.

As the days pass, Buddy reveals more of his personality to the siblings. Buddy is quick to learn, has a cheerful spirit, and is very loving. However, it becomes apparent that Buddy has separation anxiety and the kids come up with a plan to help him through it.

Lizzie and Charles are thrilled to report that their hard work has produced fantastic results. Buddy is slowly gaining more confidence and shows less anxiety each day.
