Imagine a world where pets aren’t just cuddly companions, but brave detectives! While their humans have no idea, the animals are busy solving crimes, rescuing friends, and having the most thrilling adventures.
Zoika Plumpova — that’s the name of a small, chubby dog (who is a distant descendant of papillons). She lives with her human grandma and grandpa, and her life is wonderful... though a little boring compared to the shows that grandpa watches on TV. But suddenly Zoika gets a chance to live through an adventure: one by one, the neighborhood dogs start to vanish without a trace! Sharp-eyed Zoika, together with her fluffy partner raccoon and a feathery sidekick parrot, sets off in search for the missing friends and the mysterious kidnapper.
Dangerous adventures and tricky riddles await the brave team — but they’ll be saved by their keen noses, skills of observation and the courage to help one another.
