From Abandonment to Vengeance: Reggie’s Journey to Self-Discovery
A chat amongst a coalition of stray dogs reveals a harsh truth: Reggie wasn’t playing a game with his owner, Doug; he was being abandoned. Through the “street smarts” education from dogs like Bug, Reggie confronts reality and decides to confront Doug. If he was truly unwanted, Reggie would seek revenge. After establishing three landmarks on the route home, the stray dog alliance sets off for Doug’s residence.
The Perils of the Journey
Their first landmark is a Ferris wheel at an amusement park. However, their snack break is cut short by a fireworks display, scattering the group. Lost after fleeing the park, Bug is snatched by a hawk in the hills. Without hesitation, Reggie leaps into action to save him.
From their vantage point in the sky, Bug and Reggie spot their second landmark: Four Square Mountain. Using their combined weight to gain momentum, they manage a daring self-rescue. The stray dog alliance continues their journey, following the second landmark. Exhausted and hungry, they devour some tempting mushrooms, ignoring the potential consequences. Soon, the dogs are experiencing intense hallucinations.
Imprisonment and Escape
Upon waking, Reggie and the others encounter Jack’s apprentice, a city police dog, who offers to guide them to the second landmark. Instead, they’re captured by the city’s dog control unit and thrown into a communal shelter. Facing a bleak future of neglect, Reggie rallies the other dogs. A coordinated “fart bomb” distracts the guards, allowing the dogs to make a daring escape.
Justice Served and a New Beginning
Finally, Reggie arrives home, only to find Doug seemingly unfazed by his absence. Enraged, Reggie prepares to confront him, but the stray dog alliance arrives to back him up. Realizing Doug’s true nature, Reggie laughs maniacally and, together with Jack, Maggie, and Bug, they take Doug down, delivering a well-deserved bite.
Leaving Doug behind, Reggie embraces the life of a stray, becoming a mentor to new dogs. Bug finds a loving new home, and Reggie occasionally visits. He has found his pack and his purpose on the streets.
