Presents the story of a dog in Zambia who became the pet of English couple Anna and Steve Tolan whose mission was to care for orphaned baby animals. Describes how Bulu the dog nurtured the orphans and how his protective nature often led him into danger.

Steve and Anna knew that the Zambian bush was a dangerous place for a pet. So when they adopted the runt of a terrier litter, they tried to train and protect him from peril.
