After he sees the film adaptation of "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, Bobby, becomes dissatisfied about his life as a dog in Nigeria's economic capital, Lagos. He vows to do all he can to be free from human captivity and ownership. Before he's able to do this, he is forced by circumstances to create a family with Liz, a fellow German Shepherd, who is sent to Abuja while she is pregnant with her puppies. In his quest for freedom, Bobby escapes from his human owner's home. He also longs to be united with Liz and his offspring. He puts together an army of dogs of various breeds. He promises them leadership that will provide equality, diversity, inclusion, and equity.
