"The only way to have a friend," Lady the Beagle tells Tomcat Teddy through the fence, "is to be one."
But Tomcat Teddy isn't buying it. He has other ideas.
And in his eye-opening journey outside the fence, he finds Alley Cat Jack, and his gang, Foster and Douglas. Alley Cat Jack proves quickly not to be the true friend that Tomcat Teddy was counting on to start his new life.
Tomcat Teddy is confused. Now, he's all alone in a strange world outside of the safe one-the only one he's ever known.
What will he do now?
Meanwhile, when it comes to Tomcat Teddy, all of Lady's fellow backyard critters will have their say, big and small.
What Tomcat Teddy discovers is that you can never have too many friends.
And if it's not too late, he realizes that his best life lies right there, just waiting for him, on the other side of Lady's fence.
