Description

Shola, after discovering she's descended from the Kings of the Savannah, grapples with her new identity and what it means for her future. Will she gain the respect she deserves and how will this change affect her diet? It is clear to Shola that she is not, in fact, a dog. People may have been trying to tell her otherwise for dog years, but a trip to her owner's library finally has her convinced: she is, in fact, descended from the Kings of the Savannah. But how will she take to her new-found lineage? Will she finally get the respect she deserves from her fellow citizens? Most importantly, now that she has been identified as a powerful predator, does this mean no chips again... ever?
