The War of Futago Pass Begins

After 14 years of peace in the Ohu Mountains, a strange, horrible monster invaded and overtook Gajou, the dog paradise. During the battle, the leader Gin sent his mate, Sakura, off with one of his commanders, Smith, to keep their unborn pups safe. Six months later, a young Akita pup that looks just like Gin met GB, an English setter and a slave of a rogue boss dog named Nero. The pup tried to save one of GB's friends from a farm's guard dog, but all three ultimately are saved by Smith, who now has lost his right foreleg. Smith recognizes the pup and is led to Sakura, who is deathly ill. Soon after Smith's arrival, Sakura dies. With his father missing and his mother dead, GB and Smith take the pup in; GB names the pup Weed, due to his tenacious spirit. The group has several adventures on their way back to the Ohu Mountains, and find more allies as they battle and defeat the monster and rescue Gin.
