I think I might have read this before, but didn't really remember it.

Kate Malone is a reporter for WKYS news. She if finished with her interview & decided to film some things that can be used as background for credits. She happens to film a young boy's dog getting hit. A man getting out of a car helps get the dog to the vet...& she is attracted to him. She knows the boy's name is Jacob & the dog is Woody, but she has no idea who the man who helped is. Back at the station, people are doing double duty because of a flu bug going around. The producer was also acting director, & she submitted her dog story. She'd have to explain what was being said since no one had mikes on. The equipment in the studio was fairly outdated. Meanwhile, Tyler Sinclair was at the vet's office. He turned the TV on to watch the news at the TV station that was owned by Sinclair Corporation, WKYS-TV, where he was CEO. There Jacob noticed that the incident with is dog was being shown! The vet said the dog would be fine, but Jacob was very excited that he was going to be on TV, Tyler wasn't! Everyone at the station was in a dither! There was a lot of response from the dog story, including a call from the Sinclair family for Kate!
