Expanded Description:
When Elizabeth, a young pre-med student, happens upon Damien, a pit bull terrier being used in laboratory research on her campus, she has no way of knowing how drastically her life and her beliefs will be changed. She slowly becomes drawn into the dog's fate and becomes torn between the love and respect she's come to feel for Damien and the sense of loyalty and obligation she feels for the medical profession as well as her father and grandfather, both cardiac surgeons. Elizabeth discovers that Damien has a remarkable ability to communicate, and determines to free him from a life of pain and torture. But when the scientists responsible for his mistreatment discover Damien's ability, there is no chance they will let the dog go, which precipitates a great crisis as Elizabeth and Damien attempt to escape.
