The Big Bad Woof

Zeus, a large and powerful Great Pyrenees dog, lives on a tree farm in Oregon with a family with three lovely sisters. He protects all the animals living with him. Zeus slips away from his home to visit his scientist neighbor, Mr. Gordon, to ask about the changing climate that he hears many people talking about. When the girls find Zeus talking to Mr. Gordon, they get into a very important discussion about climate and the magic molecule, H20 (water).
