Spoilers ahead
Jack Morgan (played by Kirk Cameron) is a dog therapist who was once famous for being able to read his dog’s mind. Although he cannot read the minds of other dogs, he continues to operate a canine mind-reading business without admitting his limitation to customers. A session with Mr. Mooney (played by Tom McCleister) and his wife goes poorly—the dog doesn’t reveal its thoughts, leaving Mr. Mooney frustrated and threatening to shut the business down. After the session, a wealthy man named Clyde Windsor brings his dog, Lucky (played by Bogus), and Jack is stunned when he can “hear” Lucky’s thoughts. Lucky makes it clear that three people living with him are troubling him, and Jack senses a deeper unease.
