With news of Farangis soon returning to kill the rest of them, Benjamin agrees to lead a small band of quirky animals on a long and dangerous journey to save the kingdom. Through discovering the secret life his dog lived, Benjamin learns that loyalty and friendship can ultimately involve sacrifice.
