plot

Reggie is an innocent Border Terrier residing with his cruel owner Doug, who keeps him solely to annoy his ex-girlfriend. When Reggie accidentally damages Doug's bong, Doug attempts multiple times to abandon Reggie, which Reggie perceives as a game. After losing sight of Doug in the city three hours away, Reggie encounters a street-smart dog named Bug, who teaches him how to survive as a stray after Reggie defends him from a Rottweiler and a Dobermann. Following a night spent with Bug and his companions, an Australian Shepherd named Maggie and a therapy Great Dane named Hunter, Reggie ultimately comes to the realization that Doug does not care for him. He resolves to take revenge by biting off Doug's penis, with the other strays joining him for encouragement. However, since Reggie has never ventured that far from Doug before, they must depend on landmarks he remembers, such as a "large hamster ball" (a carnival ferris wheel), a "giant cone" (a hill), and "the Devil in the Sky" (a picture of a postman on a billboard).
