Left alone and frightened in the woods, a small brown puppy wonders if a loving family is only a dream. He has spent his life around people who didn’t want him, leaving him dirty, lonely, and losing hope.

Everything changes when a kind stranger stops her car. From a busy workplace to a mysterious new house filled with the sound of barking, the little puppy’s journey is just beginning. But as the evening turns cold and he faces the ＂mother who loves dogs,＂ he must discover the answer to the most important question of all: Is he finally home?
