A stray puppy turns up in the Class 1-A dorms and instantly wins every girl in the building, which is exactly the problem for Minoru Mineta. His scheme to trade places with the dog goes about as well as one would expect in this Team-Up Missions comedy chapter.

Summary
Inside Heights Alliance, Minoru complains to Denki that a heroics education at somewhere like U.A. was supposed to come with a girlfriend attached, someone to keep him warm through the night. Warm liquid duly lands on him and briefly soothes his temper, until Denki reluctantly points out that a small dog is relieving itself on a potted plant directly above him. Minoru demands to know why there is a puppy indoors at all. Ochaco, Tsuyu, Kyoka, Mina, and Toru turn up to move the animal somewhere more appropriate, and the sight of the girls fussing over it sours his mood further.
The dog is a female who somehow wandered onto campus, and the girls intend to mind her until an owner surfaces. Ochaco supplies the name Omochi. Tenya settles the housing question: the puppy's sex means she cycles through the girls' rooms and nowhere else, which leaves Minoru both excluded from the care duty he did not want and thoroughly aggrieved. Then an idea arrives, and he grins.
He calls it Operation: Woof-Win. Minoru dresses himself as the dog, lifts her out of the cage, climbs in himself, and settles down to await the same doting attention. He falls asleep waiting. Meanwhile Tenya fields a call from someone hoping to adopt Omochi. A few classmates gather outside Heights Alliance to meet the prospective owners, two people who arrive claiming the puppy, and the carrier is passed along without anyone checking inside, sleeping Minoru and all. The adopters say their farewells and leave while the girls dissolve into tears over losing a dog they had only just grown attached to.
Key Events
Omochi, a stray female puppy found on U.A. grounds, is taken in by the Class 1-A girls and named by Ochaco.
Tenya rules that the puppy's sex means she rotates between the girls' rooms, cutting Minoru out entirely.
Minoru launches Operation: Woof-Win, disguising himself as the puppy and taking her place in the cage.
Tenya receives an adoption offer, and the classmates unknowingly hand the sleeping, disguised Minoru over to the new owners.
