To save his deceased brother's elderly Labrador retriever from being put down, Sam sets sail with Pogo for Malabar Island; the journey is riddled with danger, including storms, sharks, and lack of water. The unfolding of Sam's grief and the almost-spiritual assistance of a one-eyed cormorant provide deeper meaning to an otherwise predictable survival-at-sea story.
