    Sam, her BFF Lita, and a mischievous Dachshund named Petey, face a cranky housekeeper, a dog-hating gardener, and an ancient family curse as they search for a missing miniature replica of Van Gogh's famous painting, "Starry Night."

    Can Sam find the miniature painting in time?

    Will she and Lita go home forever friends--or enemies?
