Skitter calls the dog "Lady" and decides to tame her and to teach her to hunt birds. Lady is a dog so special that she manages to smell the birds from a distance of more than 100 meters. The journalists hear about her and soon Lady becomes a local celebrity. Then, the real owner of Lady comes to town and Skitter learns that Lady is a dog of a very rare African breed, worth a lot of money.
