When an exceedingly scruffy poodle is groomed after being rescued by an animal shelter, she is found to be a very rare breed of poodle though extinct long ago -- the Royal Bedrosian Long-Necked Spotted Poodle!
Sassie quickly becomes accustomed to the high life as a Princess and turns unbearably snotty and demanding: Regular dog food does not fit her standards, and she simply cannot be seen on an ordinary leash. But when all of Sassie's preening goes to her head, she's back up in the animal shelter. However in the end Sassie learns a little lesson in humility -- and friendship and loyalty. (Although she knows that once Princess always a Princess!)
