Matilda has been Helmer’s best friend since she was just a puppy. Unfortunately she likes to bark at people. But how can anybody be afraid of a dog so happy and kind? When a man gets scared of the very enthusiastic Matilda, Helmer’s parents decide that they have to give the dog up. But Helmer can’t live without her! With help from his friend Eline and the whole school band, Helmer works out a plan to get Matilda back.
