Rosie is given a sheepdog puppy to rear who looks and behaves differently to the other sheepdogs on the farm and is too friendly to herd the sheep. When she overhears her parents referring to her as their 'little mistake', her puppy teaches her that not all mistakes are bad in this charming story about belonging and finding your place.
