When I got back from running away, I explained this to my family. Eric is very disappointed in the dog he got for his eighth birthday. He thought the dog, named Ugly (because he is just that), was going to be his 'best friend'. But Ugly doesn't even consider Eric his first-or second-best friend. Ugly loves Eric's mum, grandad, dad, and his horrible sister Gretchen, even more than him. Desperate to make Ugly love him the most, Eric puts some crazy plans into action to win over his pooch. Will Eric uncover the secret to Ugly's heart, or will he forever have to watch his dog dote on every other family member except him?
