Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

A heart-warming tale about a puppy who finds a new home with a pack of wild dogs when his owner abandons him in New York’s Central Park.

Waggit has been cruelly abandoned by his owner in Central Park, New York. Realising he now has to fend for himself he takes refuge with a group of stray dogs who have to work together to survive.

But life for the wild dogs in Central Park is harsh, with the constant threat of starvation, fights with other packs of dogs and the fear of being taken to the "great unknown" (the dog pound) by the humans who patrol the park.

Can Waggit face his fears and become a true member of the pack or will the yearning to be owned again lead him away from his new friends?
