An adventure series based around helping animals big and small, fully endorsed by the RSPCA. When Ben befriends an older boy called Craig, whose father races greyhounds, he is invited to come and see one of their dogs compete. Cassie is much less enthusiastic about greyhound racing, and Ben can't understand why. But when a greyhound is brought to the RSPCA shelter having been abandoned, Ben realises that in the world of racing dogs, the greyhounds are never the real winners.
The RSPCA is a community based charity that works to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection.
