Plot

The movie is about Rock, a homeless dog seaking revenge for the death of his mother.

She was killed by "Killer", a cold-blooded and evil tiger who is being kept in the zoo.

While Rock alone would never stand a chance against Killer´s atrocities, he tries to join forces with every dog in town, to finally put an end on Killer´s crime streak.
