Coby, an imaginative 8-year-old, dreams of having a hippopotamus as a pet. When reality says no, he invents the Dogopotamus, a creature with the playful mind of a dog and the massive size of a hippo. As Coby navigates the challenges of his colossal creation, he must find a way to manage the chaos that follows. Will Coby's dream pet become a nightmare, or will he discover the true meaning of friendship and responsibility? Dive into this whimsical adventure and find out if Coby can tame his wild imagination.
