Barking!: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

This live-action children's comedy follows a teenage girl adjusting to a fresh start in a quiet Devon town after her family relocates. To help smooth the transition, her new stepfather gifts her a pet dog. The twist: the dog secretly possesses the ability to talk, and she is the only person who knows! Mischievous, loud-mouthed, and wildly opinionated, the canine companion constantly drags his owner into ridiculous everyday scrapes, but despite the inevitable chaos, the two form an unbreakable bond as best friends.
