After he saw someone steal some bikes, now he has to see that person in a courtroom and tell the court what he did. To help calm Danny's fears on the big day, his parents call the Helper Hounds--and there's no better pup for the job than Spooky. Spooky was involved in a crime herself--she lost her leg after being shot by a police officer who thought she was dangerous. The officer learned from his mistake and became a better person, and he thinks Danny can do the same for the bike thief. Will Spooky's best calming tricks, like stretching and yoga, give Danny the courage to tell the truth in court--and to help change the thief's life for the better?"-- ER -
