James manages to make a fool of himself while also alienating the newest kid to the Walnut Grove school all in the same breathe. In an attempt to turn a frown upside down, Charles invites James on a trip to Minneapolis. Things take an interesting turn when a stray/wild dog starts to tagalong and proves companionship comes in many different forms. How come Laura is acting like she's never worked with someone who has a stutter? When will the kids of the W.G. realize running away doesn't solve anything? Who was in the bear suit this time?
