One day, Coco stumbles upon a hidden dog society known as "The Paw Haven". It is a secret organization formed by streetwise dogs who work together to protect their fellow canines in the city.
Under the leadership of Bono, a wise and street-smart Labrador, Coco is welcomed into The Paw Haven, where she meets an eclectic group of dogs with their own remarkable personalities. There's Mochi, a spirited Pomeranian who loves fashion; Kuro, a gentle and loyal Jindo dog; Choco, a mischievous Shiba Inu with a knack for trouble-making; and Bella, a pampered and sophisticated French Bulldog.
The Paw Haven's peaceful existence is threatened when a ruthless dog catcher named Mr. Woo, known for his notorious reputation, arrives in Seoul with his high-tech dog-catching equipment.
