Kuga's Way

A dog sees its human mentor kidnapped and goes on a journey to find him, along the way meeting humans in dire need of help.

Bentley is an electronics wizard hired by Homeland Security to create a voice modulator that can translate a dog's bark and its other utterances into human-understandable expressions. Bentley's been working with his pet dog, a two-year old German Shepherd, called Kuga. The project is completed a day before the deadline. However, on that night, Bentley is kidnapped by two men-in-black and taken across America to Florida. Kuga gives chase. On its long journey, Kuga meets people in trouble, which only he can help. First, an 11-year-old child goes missing. Second, a lonely old lady is targeted by two youths for robbery. Third, a young prostitute is trapped by a serial killer. Fourth, a teenage girl attempts to kill her baby stepsister. In all four scenarios, Kuga's intervention brings uplifting resolutions. The pilot ends with Kuga continuing his long journey to Florida — the lead-in to a projected series of 24 half-hour episodes.
