Troy and Chico's Brave Backyard Adventure

A Heartwarming Adventure About Courage, Friendship, and Doing the Right Thing

When 8-year-old Troy finds a lost baby bunny crying in his backyard, he wants to help. But there's a problem—the bunny's family lives on the other side of the Wild Woods, a shadowy forest Troy has always been too scared to enter.

With his loyal Boston Terrier Chico by his side, Troy discovers that bravery isn't about not being scared. It's about helping others even when you are.
