Waylon thinks most problems can be solved with science. But when it comes to having to share a dog with Baxter Boylen, science may not be very helpful. Baxter is the closest thing to a juvenile delinquent Waylon has ever met. He´s always getting called to Principal Rice´s office, and now he´s even having meetings with the chief of police. At least the two boys can visit their dog, Dumpster Eddy, while they´re at the station. Eddy is behind bars in the Stray Animals´ Lock-up. When a new Animal Control officer takes over, it looks as though the dog´s days are numbered. Waylon comes up with a science-y plan to save Eddy, but can he trust Baxter to help him carry it out?
