Rex, Hollywood's top-grossing canine, is known for his extreme athletic abilities and diva-like demeanor. His perks package, rivaling that of any A-list celebrity, includes Kobe beef, a poodle harem, and a diamond collar. Rex⿿s luck--and Hollywood high life--runs out while shooting a commercial; an aerial stunt goes awry, leading Rex⿿s handlers to presume he⿿s dead. But Rex is merely lost--alone, filthy and unrecognizable in an unfamiliar city. Chased by animal control, he takes refuge in grubby abandoned lofts, a far cry from his former luxurious lifestyle. Shane Fahey, a bright but rebellious 12-year-old, has exasperated his father Connor for the umpteenth time. A single parent and captain of the rundown inner city fire station known as Dogpatch, Connor is charged with inspiring his sad-sack company, who are still coping with the recent loss of their former captain, Connor⿿s brother. Shane is also troubled by his uncle⿿s death, and he⿿s been acting out by ditching school. As Connor reprimands Shane for his unruly behavior, Dogpatch gets a call to put out a blaze tearing through the lofts where Rex has been hiding. Trapped on the loft⿿s burning roof, Rex makes a death-defying leap and is rescued by Connor. Once they are safe on the ground, Shane is tasked with finding the mutt⿿s owner. The pompous, fastidious Rex and the troubled, messy Shane immediately clash. Unaware of Rex⿿s true identity, Shane becomes his reluctant new master. But his attitude changes when he discovers Rex⿿s spectacular skills, which the firefighters put to use during rescue calls. Inspired by the dog⿿s talent and courage, Dogpatch makes Rex its mascot. It⿿s just the boost the company needs--and what Shane and Connor need to help bring them together. But Rex⿿s fame has drawn the attention of his Hollywood handlers who want him back--while father and son face a deadly challenge from an unexpected source.
