A Dog’s Journey (All)
Family/ 109/ English/ Sept. 5

People say that cats have nine lives, but is the same thing true for dogs? For Bailey, a St. Bernard/ Australian shepherd mix, it is.

Bailey has been living happily with his owner Ethan and his wife Hannah, their adorable granddaughter Clarity June, known as CJ, and her mother Gloria.

However, Gloria and CJ soon move away due to a family dispute, and Bailey is diagnosed with cancer. As Bailey is too old for surgery, Ethan decides to euthanize him. As Bailey slips away, Ethan asks him to come back to protect CJ.

Nine years later, Bailey is reincarnated as a female beagle puppy named Molly. When a boy and a girl come to see the litter of puppies, Molly immediately recognizes the girl as CJ, now 11 years old. Although CJ tagged along with her friend Trent while he adopted a puppy, she takes a liking to Molly and adopts her.

Can Bailey/Molly keep its promise to Ethan and protect CJ?

Actor Kathryn Prescott plays teenage CJ and singer-turned-actor Henry Lau plays CJ’s best friend and neighbor, Trent.
