Some say they swam to the mainland, but this seems unlikely. Too far to dog-paddle. Some say they're still with us, in the Far-away Cuticles, beyond the Middle Fingers.

Ten centuries ago, before the Age of Obedience, free dogs roamed at liberty, marking their territory. Seeking to extend its dominion, the cat-loving Kobayashi Dynasty declared war and descended in force upon the unwary four-legged beasts. On the eve of total canine annihilation, a child warrior sympathetic to the plight of the besieged underdog dogs betrayed his species, beheaded the head of the head of the Kobayashi clan and pledged his sword with the following battle-cry haiku. He would later be known as the Boy Samurai of Legend, RIP. At the end of the bloody dog wars, the vanquished mongrels became powerless house-pets: tamed, mastered, scorned. But they survived and multiplied. The Kobayashis, however, never forgave their conquered foe.

My ward, Atari, has been kidnapped against his will by a pack of disobedient, contagious, infected animals. He will be rescued promptly, returned to safety, and grounded for the duration of his childhood years. His five dog-abductors have been identified through the use of advanced Tooth-and-Tail Recognition Software: They will, of course, be captured and violently destroyed.

Three years earlier. The sole survivor of last week's colossal bullet-train disaster, a young boy named Atari, awoke from a deep-coma early this morning to learn of his parents' tragic deaths and also the intention of his distant-uncle, Mayor Kobayashi, to personally adopt him as ward to the mayoral-household. Upon his release from Megasaki General, Atari who suffered the loss of his right kidney and numerous broken bones in the crash will live in sequestered quarters within the confines of Brick Mansion, where he will be educated in solitude by private tutors. Atari has also been assigned a security-detail for his own protection in the form of a highly trained bodyguard-dog named Spots Kobayashi.

We're approaching the end of Old Trash Island. To the west: the Sapporo River and Megasaki City. To the east: the open-sea. To the north: a long, rickety cause-way over a noxious sludge-marsh leading to a radio-active land-fill polluted by toxic chemical-garbage. - That's our destination. - Great. - Got it. - Get ready to jump. I'm going to drag you overboard with my teeth, since you can't understand the plan. After that, we're back on foot. The next stage... Where'd they... Where'd they go? What are they doing over there? How did this happen? What's going on with this contraption? If we get separated, which we are: rendez-vous at the cause-way! - You're not our leader! - What? You're not our leader! We all are! Let's take a vote!
