A dog facing his impending neutering embarks on a wild final night out with his friends to win the heart of his crush.
The story
Bull, a two-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mutt from Chicago, lives with his friends—Rocco, Fetch, and Lucky—who have all been neutered except for him. Bull harbors a secret crush on his neighbor, a show dog named Honey, but is hesitant to reveal his feelings. When Bull learns he is scheduled to be neutered the following morning, he becomes distressed and decides to flee his home to avoid the procedure. He is eventually reunited with his friends, and the group decides to have one last wild night on the town to ensure Bull's final night of being 'intact' is one to remember before his upcoming surgery.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
Bull, a Chicago mutt, discovers he is to be neutered the next morning and flees his home, only to be rescued by his friends: Rocco, Fetch, and Lucky. The group decides to have one last wild night, leading them to a dog show where Bull tries to confess his love to Honey, a Borzoi. After a series of mishaps, including a visit to 'The Humphouse' and a confrontation with a rival, Bull and his friends are captured by animal control. During the chaos, Bull manages to intervene between Honey and her rival, Sterling, but is accidentally 'sodomized' by the oblivious Sterling. After being released, Bull eventually reunites with his family. Later, Honey finds him in a treehouse where they confess their love and mate. Bull is eventually neutered but becomes the father of thirteen puppies three months later, while Sterling is also neuted and mocked by a Great Dane named Luther.
