Synopsis

In the town of Spring Valley, ten year-old Ralph Eltison wants one thing . . . a dog. On his walks home from school, he visits all the neighborhood pets. To make matters worse, his friend Jenny had just received a puppy of her own. A week before his birthday, Ralph tells his dad what he wants. Ralph's dad searches endlessly for a puppy, but finding one is nearly impossible. But, luck is on his side, as a puppy mysteriously appears behind the pet store just days before Ralph's birthday. Ralph's dreams have been answered. Ralph and his puppy Elt (short for Ralph's last name) together with Jenny and her puppy Bernadette, take long walks through their neighborhood. Elt is everything Ralph wants in a dog. Little did he know that Elt would become so much more. Spring Valley is a wonderful place to live and had always been trouble-free. However, its neighboring town wasn't so nice. Bordertown was run by a rich, evil- doer named Walter Eugene Crum. Crum and his band of cronies devise a plan to take over Spring Valley. When the town is overcome with unfortunate and terrible occurrences, help is needed to restore Spring Valley back to serenity. Help is on its way, but from very far away. A heroic space traveler named Coladeus and his crew journey to distant planets, aiding civilizations in need. Their greenish, glowing appearance may frighten humans, so they elect to transfer their special powers to a medium . . . . Elt. With a small stone attached to Elt's collar, enriched with energy from Coladeus's planet, Elt is able to run faster, jump higher, and lift impossibly heavy objects. Elt, Bernadette, and the neighborhood pets must thwart Crum's evil plan and restore Spring Valley without any human discovering Elt's powers.
