Sweeney is a Chihuahua puppy who has only one goal in life-to love, and be loved in return. Yet for Sweeney, this dream seems to be impossible. Even though her friend, a German Sheppard named King, tries to keep her spirits up, her owners abuse and neglect her. Finally, they abandon her in the woods to starve to death or be killed.
