Synopsis

Every year, young princesses and princes arrive at Mrs. Paws Haven for Magical Pets to pick a perfect unicorn pet. But this year, Princess Ava arrived too late. There are no unicorns left...only Pugicorn! He's short and hairy. He can't sit still or gallop gracefully - and he certainly can't leap over rainbows. Can a pugicorn ever be a princess's best friend?
