Chuck, a four-year-old black Labrador Retriever, is left at a shelter in Kentucky by his humans. Like many dogs left at the shelter, Chuck is scared, but he is hopeful that his humans will come back for him. During his time at the shelter he realizes that the only way he will leave is if a new family adopts him. Where does Chuck's journey end? Does he stay at the shelter, or does he find a family and become a cherished fur-baby?
