A lighthearted animated comedy about a wisecracking street dog learning to adapt to farm life, built on humor, warmth, and the comfort of found belonging.

Rover, a street-smart dog owned by a Las Vegas showgirl is dumped off Hoover Dam by the showgirl's boyfriend. Rather than drowning, Rover winds up in your basic idyllic farm in a classic city-boy-in-country shtick.
