Violette Rainbow is so excited to stay an entire weekend with the Mane 6 in the Crystal Brighthouse before school in Bridlewood starts that next week, but little does she know that she is being sent on a Unity Quest with the Mane 6 as well.

This time, they are transported to Fernfield, Washington, home of the legendary Golden Retriever athlete Air Bud, his wife Molly and his five adorable puppies (the hip-hoppin' B-Dawg, lovely RoseBud, mellow Buddha, dirt-loving MudBud, and the big fella Budderball), who share an incredible secret-- they can talk, but only to other animals and ponies.

When it comes time to adopt the young puppies into new families, humans, ponies and dogs alike are distraught and Violette decides to help the Buddies run away. Enter a spoiled rich boy named Bartleby who wants Air Bud as a birthday present, a dim-witted cousin, and a doltish thug employed by Bartleby's father, and mayhem prevails as Buddy and Molly get dog-napped!

Now, it's up to the Mane 6, Violette and the Buddies to rescue Buddy and Molly before they get captured themselves.

As the chase winds over the river, through the woods, to the drive-in movie theater, and straight through the farmyard, slapstick comedy and satire reign and the whole gang learns an important lesson about the value of teamwork, love, and courage.
