He is rescued by a friendly dog named Daisuke, who becomes his new owner and trains him to fight against the vicious bear, Akakabuto.

After meeting several other dogs who have also been affected by Akakabuto's reign of terror, Gin learns about the legendary leader of the Ohu Mountains' dog pack, Riki. He decides to follow in Riki's footsteps and become the hero that the others can look up to and rally around.
