Starring Kyla Pratt, Peter Coyote and Malcolm Stewart Directed by Craig Shapiro Maya Dolittle (Pratt) is about to enter university for veterinary studies and, like her father, can talk to animals. But she certainly never expected that her "gift" would be a matter of national security. Just when she was feeling like a huge disappointment, the President of the United States asks Maya to use her special talents to work with the disobedient First Dog in order to help avert a major national crisis. With her important new assignment and help from her loyal canine pal Lucky, Maya finally has a chance to impress the veterinary school acceptance committee.
