The episode opens with Corneil feeling bored and restless in his luxurious mansion. He decides to go for a walk by himself, something that Bernie does not usually allow him to do. While out on his stroll, Corneil is chased by a group of stray dogs and ends up hiding in a park. A dogcatcher who is on the lookout for strays finds Corneil and mistakes him for a stray dog. He takes Corneil to the pound, much to Corneil's horror.
Bernie comes home and realizes that Corneil is missing. He goes to great lengths to search for him, but is unable to locate him. Meanwhile, Corneil is stuck in the pound, surrounded by barking dogs and feeling terribly unhappy. He is even more upset when he sees that the other dogs in the pound are being mistreated and neglected by the pound staff.
Bernie eventually discovers that Corneil has been taken to the pound and rushes to rescue him. When he arrives, he is shocked to see the terrible conditions in which the dogs are being kept. He tries to convince the pound staff to release Corneil to him, but they refuse, stating that they have to follow procedure.
Bernie decides to take matters into his own hands and starts a protest outside the pound, with the intention of drawing attention to the poor treatment of the dogs inside. He attracts a huge media presence, and the story of the neglected dogs goes viral. The pound staff are forced to release Corneil and all the other dogs.
Back home, a relieved Corneil is grateful to Bernie for rescuing him. He realizes that life on the streets is not as romanticized as he had imagined. Bernie, on the other hand, is inspired to do more to help animals in need and starts volunteering at a local animal shelter.
