Nine year old Megan is used to an ordinary life in an ordinary house, but all that changes when she and her parents move to Buttercup House. With her new best friend Freya, Megan finds out all sorts of wonderful secrets about her new home, and she meets the magical animals that live there: Dorothy the cat, and, of course the golden dog called Buttercup. The animals have been there for as long as the house and are very special: only the little girls can see them, but they know the animals will always protect them.
