On spaceship Laika, four dogs with the mission of colonizing a distant planet awake to find their human companions gone and their ship irreparably damaged. In this poignant story, mutt Lopside and his fellow Barkonauts work together to continue their mission and search for survivors. Centered on future technology allowing humans and dogs deeper communication, the suspenseful plot feels surprisingly plausible.
