Plot: A group of pampered dogs live in the lap of luxury, in a mansion in Hollywood with their owner, a wealthy, animal loving, millionaire. They have what ever they want, and are well taken care for and loved by those around them. However, a psychopath named Mako sneaks into the home late one night and steals the dogs. His plan is to hold them for ransom, earning himself a pretty penny. As he takes them to his base half way across the country, the dogs manage to knock their crates off his truck and escape into the woods, but now they have a big problem. They're now in a forest in North Dakota, hundreds of miles across the country. Matters only get worse, they realize its only a matter of time before the sadistic Mako discovers they've escaped and comes to regain his prize, with the ransom note already been sent. Worse still, they've never been more than a mile from their house and have no idea how to survive in the wild. With such odds against them, they do what any of us would do, ask for help. Unfortunately, many of the forest animals aren't too fond to city dogs and refuse, some even wanting to make a meal of them. When they begin to lose hope, they find help in an unlikely place. A skunk, a raven, a lone wolf, a fox, and even a rattlesnake are all the help they're going to get, animals they'd been laid to believe are stinky, evil, wily, or dirty. Though not completely happy about their new friends, the dogs have no choice and decide to let them help them. As their journey begins, they discover their assumptions were far from the truth and how good of friends they have.

Meanwhile, Mako catches on and comes after them himself, aiming to kill them and collect the ransom anyway, and maybe kill their owner in the process. Certain animals in the forest are also out to get the dogs, aiming to kill them for food. Will the dogs and their friends be able to make it home in time to save their owner or will they even be able to save themselves?

Rules:

Typical Animation Source rules apply.
No gay, incest, ect.
Don't kill someone's character without permission.
Mako and the owner (mostly seen at the beginning and end, not big enough a role to require a bio) are the only humans.
I'd like for the wolf and one of the female dogs to fall in love.
Predators with only one appearance do not need bios or even names, recurring ones do.
Please try to post at least once a week with well developed posts.
If you read these rules, put 'Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover' before your bios.

Cool! Alright, let's start with the dogs at home before they're kidnapped, ok?

Luke looked around as well. He found a few chew toys, including one their owner had got him as a joke, a skunk, Luke was kinda danger prone around skunks, procupines, and a few other animals with defense machnisms. He chuckled and kept looking.

OOC: I've never had a dog, so I'm not sure what toys would be good for this situation...

OOC: Yeah, that's a problem, well they are dogs owned by a rich guy, that expands options.

Luke looked around, wondering what they could do. "Want to swim?" he asked, their was a large swimming pool, two actuelly, one was perfect depth for dogs, since their owner loved dogs so much. He turned to Rianne. "You want to come swim?"
