The Plague Dogs

Two dogs, Rowf and Snitter, struggle to survive in the countryside after escaping from an animal research laboratory. Pursued by search parties and then the military after rumours spread that they could be carrying the bubonic plague, they face harsh realities of life in the wild while trying to evade capture. As they grow emaciated and desperate, their only hope is found with a mysterious fox named the Tod, who teaches them how to hunt in exchange for food, but ultimately sacrifices his own life to save theirs.
