Plot

Preteen Martin "Moochie" Daniels just wants a dog, but his dad, Ron, is allergic to canines, like Bundles, the Old English Sheepdog of New neighbor Charlie Mulvihill & his niece Francesca, who secretly trained his pet to help him steal jewels. Mooch's big brother Wilbur "Wilby" is smart, shy and a promising inventor, but hopelessly clumsy when it comes to girls, and is jealous of his slick mate Trey who has no problems. Desperate Wilby cast a spell on himself (he accidentally got from dad's museum of curiosities), which magically transform him into Bundles the Shaggy Dog. He would have back and forward transformations at uncontrollable times. This is how he also knows that the diamond on loan in his father's museum is Charlie's next target.
