Synopsis

Children have many wishes, some of these are especially great ones. Marietta has just the one - she wants a dog. Her parents are not keen. Especially as they have their four year old son Tobias to look after too.

For years Marietta pestered her parents, but to no avail. But then, on her tenth birthday she gets a magic stone from a child the family is sponsoring in Africa. Alledgedly it can fulfill a person's greatest wish.

One day, Marietta sits on her bed with the magic stone in her hand and wishes as hard for a dog as never before - she would give anything in exchange. A minute later the most amazing thing has happened: the sweetest dog in the world is sitting outside her door. Marietta is delighted and wants to show her brother the miracle, but he seems to have disappeared.

After searching frantically without success Marietta suddenly discovers a mole on the dog's stomach, just where Tobias has one.

Loyal butler Jonathan is sent to rescue the failing Blueberry Inn, unaware his blinkered Lord plots to leave it to him and three chaotic staff as a social experiment. When the Lord dies suddenly, Jonathan discovers he's a co-owner of the Inn and has just one month to save it. Battling sabotage from furious heirs, the mismatched team (and a pig!) rally their communities, securing the Inn's future against all odds.
