The heart-warming tale of a small Pekingese and a very large dog called Roo. Roo is big. He is goofy. He is clumsy. And all he wants is a friend. But the other dogs are afraid of him, which makes Roo sad. Then he is befriended by Vladimir the Pekingese-the best friend in the whole world.

It takes a big storm and a washed out bridge for Roo to prove his worth and become a much-loved town hero.
