Louie is a dog. His young owner is an artist. To improve his skills from him, Louie's owner paints each day—and Louie is there as his audience from him. But then it's time for Louie's owner to go to school. Louie watches him go, feeling upset. He doesn't like to be alone. One day, after Louie's owner leaves for school, Louie feels inspired. After watching so many pictures come to life, maybe he could try his own paw at the canvas. Maybe Louie is an artist himself. Will Louie make a big mess of his owner's studio? Or will he prove that anyone can capture a spark of genius—even an enthusiastic pup like Louie?
