A homeless, unloved dog, living on the busy, polluted streets of Guatemala finds shelter and love through a chance meeting with a traveller named Ceiba who works as a teacher in a school located in beautiful Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Mani, one of the lucky street dogs, not only finds a friend in Ceiba her rescuer, she also later finds a permanent home with a new family to love her in the United States of America. Mani is one of many street dogs who live in a dangerous and unfriendly environment for dogs on the noisy, dirty streets of San Pedro, La Laguna. There is a lack of respect, food and wellbeing for animals like her in Guatemala. She spends her days searching for food, shelter and love. After grabbing the attention of Ceiba and her friend Tony at a cafe, Mani finds herself on a boat, travelling to the other side of the lake with her two new companions, on her way to a new beginning. In the town of Panajachel, Mani has a new home with Ceiba and it is there she not only receives her name but she also becomes a healthy, happy and sociable dog, loved by the students at Ceiba's school. There are certainly still dangers for Mani as she navigates her way through a new life with Ceiba. She must endure a procedure with a veterinary doctor, survive a vicious attack by two dogs and face the reality of separation from the person that saved her life
