When tiny puppy Duke is dumped at the doors of the Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary by his yound owners, the brown and white boxer is suffering from horrendous injuries resulting from a car accident.

Playful and loving, despite his difficult start in life, Duke is desperate for a forever family to call his own. But put off by his terrrible injury, Barby is heartbroken as she watches Duke get rejected over and over again by potential owners.

Will Duke ever find someone to love him?
