Ike, a former detective dog, has taken on a new disguise as the mascot for the University of South Florida after being falsely accused of wrongdoing. Adopting the name "M.I.A.", Ike finds that posing as the school mascot among strangely dressed humans allows him to blend in and avoid detection while the real culprits are sought. Ike enjoys his new role providing water for the sports teams as the mascot, having stepped in when the previous mascot Rocky mysteriously disappeared.
