The adventures of Corneil, the super-intelligent dog who hides his genius from his owners, until Bernie the dog-sitter finds out his secret. Corneil is an ardent admirer of the opera singer Carmen Pavarota. His admiration becomes fanatical after meeting her: he gets all her CDs, prints pictures of her off the internet, he even tries to style his hair like hers. When John and Beth give Bernie two tickets to her concert and ask him to take Corneil with him, Corneil is thrilled. Bernie, on the other hand, isn't - it's the same night as a big football match, and his favourite player is playing. What will they do?
