After a Labor Day jaunt to the beach leaves the robot rusted and immobilized in the sand, the dog must return alone to the life they once shared. But the memory of their friendship lingers, and as the seasons pass, the dog tries to fill the emotional void left by the loss of his closest friend.. Will they ever meet again?
