Setting: Inside and outside a domed environment in the future.
Brock lives inside a dome where science and technology control the environment. Efficiency is the most important value in the dome. Brock discovers some books from the past. After reading them, he becomes curious about life outside the dome. He gets permission to go outside and do scientific research. He wears a special suit to stay safe. Outside the dome, he sees real mountains and a real brook. Then he finds a real puppy whose mother has died. Brock feeds the puppy and decides to bring it back to the dome. He names the puppy Brog. Inside the dome, scientists study Brog, while Brock plays with Brog and teaches her tricks. Brock overhears how the scientists plan to experiment on Brog. They also plan to clone Brog. Brock wants to save Brog, so he thinks of a plan to escape.
