Lulu is a happy little Border Collie, smart and adorable.
Her mom is a huge star in the human world, which makes Lulu prouder than anything.
That is, until she learns that she and her mom are the doomed foil characters in a pet reality-show novel.
On the show, everyone else's dogs are well-trained, obedient, and sensible. Lulu, on the other hand, is naughty, lazy, greedy, and bullies the other people's silly dogs.
The others become famous through the show and are praised for their beauty and kindness. But Lulu and her mom are branded as a vicious dog and a terrible owner, and end up being run over and killed by an extremist fan.
Lulu refuses to accept it and rolls around in a furious tantrum.
She's not a vicious dog, and she never bullies other dogs! Her mom isn't a terrible owner either. She's the best mom in the world!
So Lulu decides to put on a pair of cool sunglasses and become the most handsome dog on the pet show!
Forget being the foil characters. She'll trample that whole plot under paw.

Work, Doggies is a pet reality show where the guests' dogs are trained as guide dogs, military dogs, search-and-rescue dogs, and more.
When award-winning actress Jiang Ruyue appears with her little Border Collie, nobody has high hopes for them.
"A Border Collie... They're smart, but they're way too stubborn!"
"That golden retriever from the other team is much cuter."
Then they were made to eat their words.
What, the dog won't follow orders?
During guide-dog training, Lulu listens to her mom perfectly, sweetly guides everyone along, and gets them safely to their destinations!
Are smart dogs going to bully the others?
What a joke. Lulu's big-sister spirit shines during training. She leads a whole pack of younger dogs forward, and their team finishes the exercises faster than anyone else.
Are Border Collies too timid?
Hmph! Even during the toughest police-dog simulated rescue, Lulu charges in bravely. She's so cool it's unreal!
Audience: "Whoa, she's a Border Collie, and she actually ran into a burning building!"
Lulu proudly lifts her head. "Woof!"
Of course! She was saving my mom!
A dog can be brave for her mom.

After getting a second chance at life, Jiang Ruyue develops psychological problems.
She knows there's only darkness ahead, with a storm of insults waiting for her, but she doesn't want to change anything this time.
Downhearted, she thinks she'll quit the entertainment industry after finishing this one last job. But when she sees Lulu charge into a burning building and wrestle with a criminal just to save her, she can't help tearing up.
That's her dog.
That jerk said her dog was a coward!
Her Lulu is clearly the bravest, coolest dog in the world!
[Even if the whole world is dark, don't give up on yourself. Cheer up, Mom. Your dog will always love you., Lulu]
Theme: A little dog can find the courage to be brave for you.
