A young woman named Sarah has her whole life changed when her grandmother bequeaths her prized possession, a spoiled Pug named Patrick. Sarah has recently moved into a new apartment with a no-pet policy and just got employed teaching Year 11 English. She struggles to deal with both Patrick and discipline in her school. After a few incidents with Patrick, she finally connects with the students and really starts to connect with Patrick.
Patrick helps her to meet two potential love interests – one is a narcissistic vet named Oliver and the other is a student's father, Ben. During the course of the film, she inadvertently loses Patrick – but then finds him waiting for her at the end of a 5 km charity run (where she raised £1,000 for a mobility scooter).
In the closing scenes, Sarah and Ben sail a boat down a river with Ben's daughter on deck.
