Forest's only fault is being unwanted. As a young puppy, he finds himself snatched from his den, ripped from his family and thrown out into Florida's wilderness to live or die. Lost and alone, he relies on instinct and learns from the creatures in the woods how to survive in the harsh surroundings. He dreams of a home and family and thrives in those dreams so awake he can hold on a little bit longer. When his dreams come true he still must go through one more struggle, to make the choice; trust or not. The path he chooses now is the choice he lives with for the rest of his life.
