A stray named Spark is chosen to attend Pup Academy, a magical place where pups learn to be man's best friends. There, she has many adventures with her two best friends, Whiz, a small sheep dog who is smart, but is afraid of sheep, and Corazon, a golden retriever who acts like he's the cool one, and has a tendency to chase his tail, unknown she is one to fulfill a prophecy to keep the constellation Canis Primus from fading, which would sever the bond between humans and canines.
A show made by Air Bud Entertainment, a company infamous for being founded by the man who used to do the Air Buddies movies and has released DTV films with two things in common: talking animals and not being well received by critics and those who watched the films, this is the company's debut show, airing on Disney Channel. While the show is based on a school where pups learn to be man's best friend, it rips off many elements from the Harry Potter franchise (mainly the prophecy, the school having four houses like Hogwarts, Fetchball being like Quidditch, etc). But what gives this a three star is because the characters can be related to (Spark is a stray who never had friends, which some kids may relate to) and the dogs here at least have personality. This is one of those series that, while kids like, adults may not find any interest in.
