Zeus is a lovable, troublemaking mutt. Roxanne is a lonely dolphin separated from her pod. But they've just found each other on a beach in the Florida Keys, and now they're the best of friends. Better yet, they just might show three kids how to turn two separate households into a single family. This is the exclusive tie-in novelization of the feel good family film by MGM to be released on January 10, 1997 starring Steve Guttenberg and Kathleen Quinlan.
