Dash the Tibetan terrier and his friends living at the Animal Inn are all in a tizzy. They're certain a pirate is coming to the inn -- or maybe even more than one! Can they handle the possible attack?

This is another cute installment in the series, but it feels like an almost identical plot to the previous one. That takes a lot away from the feelings of originality and suspense. Still, the animal perspective is fun.
