But are these visions the result of a thrashing he received from the farmer's two dogs? Or, maybe Gibson sees parallel universes?As outsiders the little kangaroo and the cat from the city negotiate the perils of farm life. They meet two malicious rats who hate anyone who is happy. The two devoted friends must contend with stampeding cows and a barnyard of critters that have little use for newcomers.Will Gibson keep his sanity and become the little girl's pet?
