I mean its basically a Disney story line A kid that goes on a quest to find their lost dog, is befriended by a group of stray dogs, and after a series of adventures (pursued by a bunch of baddies with robot dogs), ends up being reunited with their lost dog, and overthrowing the evil mayor and being appointed mayor in his place along with his friends.
