Summary |
The only thing that Pickles loves more than football is his best friend, and owner, Elsie. She's smart, kind, funny and amazing at football. But even though Dad works hard to provide for them, life off the pitch is tough. It's their team of three against the world and right now it feels like their side is losing. With the announcement that the World Cup is coming home to England and that Elsie's team might have the chance to play in a halftime match at Wembley Stadium, it's the happiest they've ever been. But when disaster strikes their dreams are shattered and it looks like it's up to Pickles to save the world (cup)... |
