In an old-school bus with no seats, Linval Stewart and his 12 German Shepherds take a road trip from their home in Norfolk County to visit their vet, Dr. Brett Warren, in downtown Oakville. Linval plans his trips and errands around the needs of the dogs, specifically their need to have bathroom breaks in places where he can keep an eye on their safety. As he drives, Linval describes a nightmare he had as a child about dogs and how his furry friends have helped him overcome that fear.
