Take a wild journey into the Australian Outback with one of the animal kingdom's greatest ever explorers - golden retriever pup and all-round adventurer Napoleon. Tired of his day-to-day existence as a modest house pet, young Muffin longs for more in his canine life. Aspiring to become a 'wild dog' of the land, he changes his name to Napoleon and sets out in a basket tethered to helium balloons for an amazing trip into the unknown. Meeting like-minded animals and making friends along the way, Napoleon shares his action-packed experiences with the likes of a wise owl, a chatty parrot, a clever koala, wombats, wallabies and many other fun-loving creatures.
