Scamp, a discontented dog, envies the attention given to a grand Percheron horse. Seeking change, he visits Zildy, a quirky witch, who transforms him into a whingdingdilly—a fantastical creature. Initially thrilled, Scamp soon realises that being extraordinary isn't as wonderful as he imagined. Through this whimsical adventure, he learns to appreciate his true self and the simple joys of being a dog.
