Fred is a loving dog who farts...a lot.

When his owner Gertie moves to a retirement home he needs to find a family to love and accept him, farts and all. Worried that his farting will be a barrier to finding a new family, he holds on TIGHT! When he cannot hold on any longer, and the huge blasts are released, his dreams of being accepted for who he is and being a superdog come true.

A story about being brave, that we all have something unique that makes us special and most importantly, being accepted for who we are.
