On an uncharted island, somewhere in the PnF Sea, partially hidden by huge palm trees and previously undiscovered flora, a strange young scientist runs an experimental laboratory. His predecessor left behind many mysteries, and young Doctor Pawshake means to unravel them!
One sleepless night, as he wanders through the overgrown garden, a rustling sound catches his attention. A baby Gourdee is ripe! Excitedly, he scoops up the rare creature and takes it back to the lab for observation. After many years of careful study, there is still very little known about the Gourdee, least of all, what it will become when mature.
The old scientist left much information in his notes, but deciphering it might be more than the young doctor can do. Still, he perseveres, confident in the knowledge that his work will benefit pets everywhere... but will it?
Baby Gourdee sleeps peacefully, unaware of the maze of mysteries he inhabits, dreaming of fields and forests, and morning dew.
