In Romania, a country for whom the wolf was once the symbol of its people, the ancient pact of friendship made between man and dog has been broken in the name of urbanization.

Overcrowding in poorly built apartment blocks led to the abandonment of thousands of dogs. In Bucharest there are approximately 60,000 strays. In a desperate bid to fight the increasing stray population many of these dogs are killed on the streets or end up in government owned shelters known as “kill shelters”, so named because most of the dogs will never be seen again.

This is the story of a dog who should have died in one of these shelters. It is a story of survival against impossible odds, of betrayal and forgiveness, of the cruelty and kindness of strangers. It is the story of a miracle. It is the story of a dog called Fleur.
