Some people find that pet health insurance is helpful because you can budget in the cost of pet insurance so that if you ever need to an emergency pet's veterinary visit the price will be covered. Without dog insurance you'll need to have money to cover the costs or put it on credit, so you may want to compare pet insurance to see if it's worth your money.


Two dogs, Snitter and Rowf, manage to escape from the brutally sadistic Coniston animal research laboratory. They find life is hard out in the wild, and they are forced to resort to killing sheep and other livestock. Obviously, invoking the ire of farmers is a bad thing for these hounds, and before long, they are being hunted by all sections of society.

The military becomes involved when some misinformation that the dogs might be carrying a strain of bubonic plague is circulated. From this point on, we could tell that all was not going to end "happily ever after....”

Snitter and Rowf are pursued relentlessly by the "white coats" (scientists/farmers/army) and they are eventually driven into the sea by the army, who shoot at them.

Rowf and Snitter manage to avoid getting shot, and keep swimming, in the hope that they will reach an island, and sanctuary. Unfortunately for them both, there is no island, and despite their best efforts, they tire and end up drowning at sea.
