A friendly rabbit helps Muku-muku, a mother dog whose puppy recently passed away, adopt an orphaned lion named Buru-buru. The pair share a deep relationship as Buru-buru comes to terms as he ages that he is not a dog and they begin living in a zoo. However, one day Buru-buru is taken away to a circus, causing him to miss his mother dearly as he plans to one day reunite with her.
