A wannabe K9 dog on wheels, a beatboxing duck on the autism spectrum, and a dancing bear with Down syndrome must defy the odds to rescue a runaway circus panther – a thrilling chase through New York with extraordinary heroes.

An unlikely trio – a young German Shepherd who flunked K9 training, not because of his wheels, but his stubborn streak, a beatboxing Indian Runner duck on the autism spectrum, and a black bear with Down syndrome who lives to dance for the circus crowd – must defy the odds to save a runaway panther in the heart of New York City. Lenny rides the streets like no other, sniffing out clues on wheels. Fred, the genius with rhythm, cracks the case wide open: Where will the panther go next? And Bearnice, the soul of the team, brings the empathy that just might calm the wild feline. But to truly save Shadowclaw, they’ll need more than heart – they’ll need to become a perfect team. Together, they must turn their differences into superpowers before the official K9 unit closes in.
