Clover, a young Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, is searching for three things: freedom, adventure, and trash containers. Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Logan is looking for love with his first crush, Kylie, while trying to avoid three things: his father, work drama, and his own awkward behavior. Once Logan finds Clover in an alley after work, he takes her to a nearby canine rescue.

While Clover does her best to navigate her changing environment, Logan's relationship with Kylie progresses as they volunteer together at the rescue. You Can Call Me Clover navigates high school love, family relationships, friend dynamics, work life, and what the world looks like through the eyes of an adventurous, food-loving dog.
