Plot

Chip and Potato is about Chip, a young pug who faces big challenges and embarks on the new stages of her life. There to help and comfort Chip whenever she needs it is her best friend Potato; a snuggly "toy" who she snuggles in her pocket. However, Potato is actually a real, living mouse who must be kept a secret.[4][1][5]
