When a feisty little fox named Tod is adopted into a farm family, he quickly becomes friends with a fun and adorable hound puppy named Copper. Life is full of hilarious adventures until Copper is expected to take on his role as a hunting dog -- and the object of his search is his best friend!
Tod must navigate the heartbreaking divide between his wild instincts and the domestic world that raised him. As his childhood bond with Copper shifts from playmates to predator and prey, the film captures the painful collision of nature and nurture.
