Welcome to Barksdale, where every dog aspires to excellence. Each store owner prides themselves on being the "best groomer" or having the "greatest biscuits." The pressure is on at Barksdale Academy for one puppy to win Best in Show. For the K-2 loyalty test, Duke's cousin Coco, a French bulldog from Paris, is in town. The Underdogs and their classmates will compete in a field day event against a rival school during this exam. In comparison to the Underdogs, Coco is cool, humorous, and endearing. It should therefore come as no surprise that, when it comes time to choosing teams, she joins Team Awesome rather than her cousin Duke and his friends.
