Musgo is a dog that loves riding in the bicycle basket seeing trees and clouds crossing the sky. He also loves following his shadow between the hanging sheets and blankets, running behind children or nibbling Janinka s bicycle pedal. He is a happy in-home dog until war separates him brutally from Janinka and Mirek, the two kids that live with him at home and who tickle his belly with their barefoot feet. A bomb erases everything Musgo knows and leaves the dog without home or family. Surviving in a city in ruins, Musgo discovers things that he doesn t like, for example, his guts grinding, be covered with fleas and mites or nobody calling him his name. However, in spite of the sad smell of war, Musgo will never give up on his search of the slight spicy smell of his beloved and missed Janinka. In a context that nobody can understand, Musgo will have to learn to be a street dog, a wild dog, a watchful dog and even a circus dog. The path will not be easy but Musgo will overcome the challenge until his sense of smell takes him back to the one he loves.
