Scrap is an unusual coloured puppy saved from drowning by Lionel, who trains working sheepdogs. Having had no mother to teach him about being a dog, Scrap learns some hard lessons from a wise old dog named Bill. Although some say sheep have no respect for a blond dog, Scrap proves he has 'the Eye' and loves being a working dog. But his youthful exuberance gets him in many scrapes!
