Eight-year-old Charlotte wants to be a doctor when she grows up, just like her grandmother, Dr. GrTen-year-old Stephen is a bully, just ask his brother, Henry. Stephen often fights with Henry when he doesn't get his way.

Scrappy is a street dog who never had a home. While out for a bike ride, Stephen comes across three dogs fighting over a bone. He watches as the smallest dog tries to defend himself against the two large, vicious dogs. Stephen scares off the large dogs and rescues the small dog . He names him Scrappy, because he is a fierce fighter, takes him home, cleans him up, and tends to his wounds.

More than anything, Stephen wants to keep Scrappy as a pet. His dad does not want the extra cost and responsibility of dog ownership. His mom is tired of the boys fighting.

Stephen comes up with a plan to prove to his parents that he and Henry can take care of Scrappy. To make his plan work, Stephen must learn to cooperate with his younger brother and manage his anger, which he does.

Stephen rescues Scrappy from the hard life of a street dog. In turn, Scrappy also saves Stephen. Scrappy motivates Stephen to make important life changes and take responsibility for his actions and choices.

Lavishly illustrated with magical iPad paintings, Stephen & Scrappy includes membership to "Kids Club Doggos" and a special feature section with the "In-N-Out Technique" for anger management.
