German shepherd Hoss works hard to keep his cattle herd safe and happy. The arrival of a headstrong calf, Cookie, riles up the entire ranch. When feral dogs attack the rancher's daughter, Hoss learns how to best help Cookie become the leader he wants to be. The story is predictable and didactic, but the animal perspective lends some appeal.
