What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Gwen and Roger operate as secret agents while humans remain unaware of the dogs' and cats' hidden world.
The Great Truce has ended dog-cat hostility, and the heroes must preserve that peace when the parrot's scheme threatens to reignite conflict.
The villain manipulates wireless frequencies audible only to dogs and cats in order to destabilize the truce.
Secret-agent missions, a villainous parrot, and cat-and-dog puns frame the action as broad family comedy.
