Lady and the Tramp III: Family Troubles
is a fan-sequel to Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure. It's written by Heroes-N-Disney.
Set soon after the film's ending, Angel is still getting used to being a housepet. She sometimes feels like it'll only be temporary, just like her other homes. One day, Angel's absentee mother Peg turns up at her new home. She's leaving town and wants to take Angel with her. The choice is Angel's: will she become a street dog again and leave with her mother, or will she stay with her new family?
