A dysfunctional young schoolteacher inherits a pet dog from her grandmother, that helps her with her love life.
Engaging enough English canine comedy where the pug(s) inevitably steal the show, although disappearing for a while as romantic comedy conventions take over (and a plot vaguely influence by Jane Eyre), with lots of familiar British comedy faces only occasionally getting a look-in.
