Synopsis

Madeline loves to scare Miss Clavel with her daredevil behaviour, until the day she falls into the river and nearly drowns. If it wasn't for Genevieve, the brave dog that saves her, Madeline would be no more. Madeline loves her new friend...but so do all the other girls. How can twelve little girls look after one dog without fighting? Once more, Genevieve comes to the rescue...
