Scientists are discovering what's behind the strong bonds that can form between dogs and humans. And few bonds are stronger than those between therapy dogs and the patients they care for.

The dedicated therapy dog is now ready to retire. But first he must help a young girl named Yui deal with a life-threatening illness.
