Lai Chun Sing (Kent Cheng) has been in the police force for 30 years. He originally worked in the front-line CID department for the first 5 years. During one investigation, his assistant police dog sacrificed his life to save Sing. Struck by the death, Sing decided to join the Police Dog Unit. In 25 years, he advanced from a dog caretaker to an instructor and he now plans to use his retirement money to open a dog care center, allowing dog owners to bring their dogs for training and play.
Sing's wife died a long time ago, but left with an obedient daughter, Lai Sin Yue (Linda Chung). Yue follows after her father, and loves animals as if they were human. This eventually leads Yue to become a veterinarian. She later decides to help her dad and move to countryside to help with his dog care center. Her determination is driven by the fact that she wants to make sure all animals are treated lovingly.
In the countryside, they soon might rowdy bunch that lives there. Chow Yung Kung (Steven Ma) is a renovator who is in charge of preparing the dog care center. Yue and Kung initially start off on the wrong foot, but the two eventually start developing feelings for each other as they spend more time together. The two start to fall in love with each other, but Sing refuses to accept Kung as his daughter's boyfriend, saying that he has no education, no stable job, and on top of that, is perverted.
The two side stories involve Chiang Tin-Ngo (Maggie Sui), her brother Tin-Hung (Lee Kwok Lun), Chou Ka-Man (Natalie Tong), and Ho Tin-Yau (Raymond Wong). Tin-Hung has always been looked down upon by his father and sister as a failure. He wants to start his own business, but his father will not loan him the money, believing all his ideas are bound to end up a disaster. His sister refuses to help him plead their father, so Tin-Hung resorts to kidnapping Tin-Ngo and demanding their father for a large amount of money. Tin-Hung hides his identity well, using a voice mask as well as being sure to cover Tin-Ngo's eyes.
Tin-Ngo then devotes herself to finding the kidnapper, believing it is someone in the nearby countryside. She monitors all of villagers closely, looking for something suspicious. Tin Hung, scared that she might figure out it's him, moves himself to the countryside to prevent Tin-Ngo from finding out that he was the one he kidnapped her. While she is there, Tin-Ngo starts to develop feelings for Sing, but she is rejected.
