Summaries

Lost and alone on the streets of a small Mississippi town, Benji struggles to save his mom from a backyard puppy mill, avoiding two dopey dogcatchers and an unwanted sidekick.

Three unlikely, unsuspecting souls who come face-to-face with that moment in their lives when they must stand and be counted. For Sheldon, it's difficult because he doesn't appear to be the brightest guy in the world (although he might be the funniest). For Colby, it's even more difficult because he's only 14 years old, and up against enormous odds. For Benji, it's almost impossible--because, after all, he's just a dog, lost and alone, with nothing but a belligerent bird and a bungling stray mutt to help. A band of unlikely comrades, brought together by the least likely of the bunch, for a common, courageous purpose. Things will change. Lives will be saved. Because Benji is off the leash!—Sujit R. Varma

Benji is born. Is born from a black prized breeder owned by an abuser who cares only for money. Benji is taken away by the greedy man's son and two years later Benji finds out his mother is sick and tries to get 2 bumbling animal catchers that save pets that are on the streets to find his mother and bring the bad guy to justice with the help of a dog with an extremely long tongue and a parrot.—Anonymous
