A little puppy named Rooster gets separated from his mother and siblings and has to make his way through woods, unfriendly yards, and lonely nights in search of a place to call home.
Along the way he's poked by turkeys, fed by a cat, and chased by a broom, all the while crying for his mother and hoping to be rescued.
A policeman finds him, afraid and hiding, on the side of a road.
Follow Rooster on his journey from a box in a shed to a home in a log cabin.
