PlotA lively, street-smart dog lives a carefree life in Las Vegas, enjoying the glitz and glamour of the city. His owner, a dancer, showers him with love and attention. However, her boyfriend, a shady gambler, concocts a scheme to rid himself of the dog for financial gain. He bundles the dog into a sack and cruelly tosses him into a river, leaving him to fate. The dog narrowly escapes and winds up being swept away to a farm far removed from his familiar cityscape.
On the farm, he is adopted by a kind-hearted farmer and his family. Initially struggling to adapt to his new rural surroundings, the city-slick dog gradually comes to appreciate the charm of country life. He makes new friends among the farm animals and learns about responsibility and companionship. Despite occasional antics and misadventures due to his city-bred instincts, the dog begins to establish a new life on the farm. His transition from a pampered city pet to a contributing member of the farm community is filled with humor and heartfelt moments. However, as he settles into his new life, challenges arise that test his loyalty and courage, putting at risk the newfound bonds he has formed.
