The Heptagon Revolt

Dog is man's best friend, they say, but is man the dog's best friend? After he sees the film adaptation of "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, Bobby, becomes dissatisfied about his life as a dog in Nigeria's economic capital, Lagos. He vows to do all he can to be free from human captivity and ownership. Before he's able to do this, he is forced by circumstances to create a family with Liz, a fellow German Shepherd, who is sent to Abuja while she is pregnant with her puppies. In his quest for freedom, Bobby escapes from his human owner's home. He also longs to be united with Liz and his offspring. He puts together an army of dogs of various breeds. He promises them leadership that will provide equality, diversity, inclusion, and equity. They march along with him in his fight for dogs' independence from humans, as he searches for freedom ̶ and his family. Liz raises her puppies as best as she can, as they are passed from one human owner to another. In the middle of the Covid-19 lockdown in Abuja, Nigeria in April 2020, strange events affect the lives of Bobby, Liz and their children in more ways than they bargained for. This story, filled with twists and turns, presents the canine community at its finest, and its worst.
