To document the world's diversity of species and reconstruct the tree of life we need to undertake some simple but mountainous tasks. Most importantly, we need to tackle species rich groups. We need to collect, name, and classify them, and then position them on the tree of life. We need to do this systematically across all groups of organisms and b

Two dogs, matey Mate, a Jack Russell cross and Milldred a boxer, have to prevent a power-mad crustacean from overturning the world for his own evil intentions.

A Bone with unknown powers and capabilities has shown up to persuade them to prevent a catastrophe of epic proportions from happening. It would lead to a world that would be changed forever. The dogs find it hard to accept what is expected of them and find it that much harder to believe that they are in communication with a Bone. Matey Mate with all his cunning and know-how is relied on to set a plan into action to save the day while Milldred is, simply put, a clumsy galloopa. Between them, odd as it seems, make a good team.
