What starts as a normal day for Brandy & Brinkley changes beyond anything they could dream of when Jed visits. The two spaniels are used to having little adventures every time they leave the house, but nothing prepares them for this.
1665 London is a dangerous place for dogs, so when the two brothers suddenly find themselves in the middle of a plague-ridden city, it's a race against time to escape the clutches of the street dogs, the perils of the rats and the dangers of the dogcatchers.
Can they survive in their new surroundings and will they be able to find their way back to the safety of their own home?
