Summary:

When a revolt puts an animal pound in control of the animals, they make quick comrades, united against everything that walks on two legs. But with this newfound power comes a sudden challenge: how best to lay the groundwork for this new democracy as they write their first constitution. The conditions are ripe for a dictator, primed for appointing a new system of brutality and death. When two groups of animals work together, will their efforts be enough to prevent further animal authoritarianism?
