Malý pejsek s velkým srdcem na stopě ztracené lásce Maxík je sice malý psík, ale srdce má velké a ve městě na něj čeká spousta dobrodružství. Společně se smečkou rozverných psů se Maxík vydává do ulic pátrat po ztracené kamarádce. Na každém kroku je provází strašlivé historky o kruté ženě, která odchytává psy. Jejich strach však přebije síla přátelství, touha pomoci a legrace, kterou při svém putování zažijí.
Právě když si Maxík Toulavý a jeho parta začíná myslet, že jejich život je už dlouho poklidný a nic zajímavého se neděje, potkávají Prcka – maličkého veverčáka, který touží po pořádném dobrodružství. Vyrazí s ním tedy do světa. Mají štěstí. Ve městě zrovna řeší zapeklitou záhadu: ze zoologické zahrady se ztrácejí zvířata, takže se psí parta brzy seznámí s nevrlými lvy, chytrými opicemi a podezřelým strážným Samuelem Sádlem. Zachrání Maxík s kamarády ZOO a splní se Prckovo veliké přání?
