Sam Hannigan runs an animal shelter in Clobberstown, Co. Dublin with her
creepy-crawlie-crazy best friend Ajay Patel and her just-plain-crazy
granny Nanny Gigg. Oh yes, and her big bully brother Bruno.
When a mysterious package arrives on the doorstep of Hannigan's Haven,
Sam and the gang are astonished to discover that it contains a living,
breathing Dodo bird! Where did the dodo come from, who sent it, and,
most importantly, how is it not extinct? Being a lover of all animals,
Sam immediately falls in love with the dodo (which she names Desmond)
and treats it like a member of the family. Unfortunately, a gang of
ruthless exotic animal smugglers is near. When Captain Stinky Derriere
and his lumbering First Mate Chum get the scent of the miraculously
still alive dodo, while Stinky makes it his life mission to catch and
eat Desmond!
Join Sam, Ajay and the gang as they endeavour to keep Desmond safe and
secret until they can deliver him to Uncle Monty, whose one wish is to
deliver the dodo to the mythical Dodo Island.
