Dreamers: The Hunt for Shadowclaw
Follows an unlikely trio: a young German shepherd dog called Lenny, who failed the K9 test not because of his wheels but due to his stubborn attitude, and joins the circus.

They must defy the odds to save the mysterious circus panther, Shadowclaw, in the heart of New York City. Together, they must turn their differences into strengths, overcome their fears, and save the panther before the official K9 team captures her and puts her away forever.
