A lighthearted animated short about a well-meaning rescue dog outwitted by a mischievous seal pup in a snowy setting, built entirely on slapstick comedy and charm.

The snow covered mountains; but not to worry, rescue dog Pluto is on duty. Actually, given that he barely keeps himself safe, maybe you should worry. A playful seal keeps stealing his cask of grog.
