Charlie Muttnik is the pup with the pencil, the mutt with the marker, the dog with the drawing pad, the chap with the chalk! He draws all the time.

But when Charlie doodles all over his homework, there’s trouble at school. It’s only when his strict teacher, Miss Rich, tries something new that both realize Charlie can be a great artist at school and at home.
