A nine-year-old girl is being bullied at school. With the help of a penguin psychiatrist, a walrus, and a dachshund, she learns to heal. Petey Penguin and the Case of Little Lost Lenore tells the story of an eccentric penguin psychiatrist who only treats animals until one day, a nine-year-old little girl who is being bullied at school enters his office and needs help. Petey becomes a bit insecure at first, as he is only accustomed to helping animals.
