This adventure takes place at the mall on a stormy winter day. Landon visits a pet store for the first time and realizes that all these different pets are for sale. On the way home, he asks his parents if he can have a pet. Later that night, while asleep, Landon learns every pet is different. Some pets run around and some are in cages or bowls. Each type of pet requires care and attention every day, and Landon discovers how much responsibility owning a pet really is.
