After an outbreak of dog flu, the corrupt mayor of Megasaki City orders all dogs to be deported to an island that is used as a garbage dump. His orphaned nephew flies to the island to find his dog Spots and a pack of five dogs decide to help him.

But there is a dark side to that warmth. Generosity is great, but it doesn’t protect you from barbarism. The struggle for survival can be cruel. Don’t just stroke him, Wes might bite.
