Footrot Flats is the archetypal farming community that everyone knows exists somewhere.

He is simply known as “Dog”.

Meanwhile…the dastardly Murphys steal Cooch’s prize stag…Dog, Jess and the heroic Horse do battle with the forces of evil - the hellhounds, Vernon and his Vermin and the dreaded crocopigs.

Will Wal become an All Black? Where is Cooch’s stag? Will Horse prevail over Vernon and his Vermin. Will Jess be devoured by the dreaded crocopigs? What is Dog’s real name? Will Wal find eternal happiness with Cheeky Hobson?
