Gus is a tiny puppy without a home. He lives underneath an old rusty truck, scrounges for food in trash cans and dumpsters, and worries about his shoelace collar that is becoming tighter by the day. But everything changes one day when Gus and his stray puppy friend, Trixie, attempt to cross the street.

After Gus is hit by a car, he is rescued by kindly strangers that decide to help him and take him to a veterinarian who heals his injured leg. But the best surprise of all is when the strangers find Gus the greatest Mom in the world who promises to care for him, play with him, and love him forever.

The Tale of Gus is the touching story of a rescue dog's life on the streets, his adventures, and the friends he meets as he journeys to find his forever family to love.
