A science fiction tale about a man and his dog, Bentley. David Anthony is a robotics engineer who prolongs his lovable fourteen year old Shih Tzu's life by integrating Bentley's brain and essential organs with a forty inch tall, blue and silver robot with golden mirror-like eyes. Soon Bentley can talk and is a global celebrity and intellectual due to software his organic brain can now access from the synthetic side of his robot form. The problem arises for David and his Chinese girlfriend, Lea, when biologically driven androids are seen as useful by the military, the space agency, medical and industrial complexes. And all want his secrets. Even the general public wants David to democratize his innovations to save sick loved ones or to preserve the knowledge of our present day leaders. Greedy partners also try to steal David's patent rights by claiming part ownership.

David and Lea then have to find Bentley before he is dismembered to acquire the secrets that have made him so unique to so many big money markets. And, the kidnappers have the ability to hide anywhere on earth to carry out their plan. Will David and Lea locate Bentley in time?
