Shorty and Hercules hit the road to promote pit bull tolerance and his new book, but Shorty ponders what being an open book to the world will mean to his family: Ashley is left in charge but it's possible that the power may be going to her head.

Shorty may expand his operation after a local rescue refuses to taken in pit bulls; Ashley gets the chance to show growth as a manager when a deal goes bad; Seb wants to devote more time to pit bulls, but Ronald is still fixed on stardom.

Shorty has a new pit bull kennel up and running but he may have underestimated how much hard work there was to be done and what kind of shape he was in to do it. Ashley feels she needs to devote her time to the talent-agency and not the kennel.

Shorty gets a little person he's mentoring to help out at the kennel when things get a bit strained. Shorty takes risks to rescue a pit bull trapped in an abandoned house. Ashley gets in trouble for going over budget on a commercial for Shortywood.

Shorty attempts a risky rescue at a farm and must take Ashley because the businesses are understaffed and Sebastian is leaving to visit his family. Ashley fusses at Shorty for ignoring the business when Ron doesn't show up for a big gig she booked.

Shorty and his staff are forced to spend a night at a campground in the wilderness when the rescue of a stray pit bull takes longer than they anticipated; Shortywood puts on a variety show to help with dog adoptions but the headliner is a no-show.

As Ashley adjusts to her new job as talent agent for the Sid Levine Talent Agency, Ron and Sebastian struggle to fill in for her at the Shortywood offices and on rescues, but sadly Shorty is no help as he attends his niece's graduation ceremony.

Shortywood gigs are suffering, but even though Ron and Sebastian are stretched thin at the office, they hope to turn things around at a music video shoot until they get there and realize Ashley has stolen the star they booked to perform.
