It's 1912 in Newfoundland, Canada, and all non-sheepherding dogs are being outlawed in Maggie's town. The mayor thinks that a dog is killing sheep. Maggie has a Newfoundland dog named Sirius. He is big and gentle, and she knows he is not the one killing sheep. In order to save his life, Maggie hides Sirius in the rocky cliffs above her house. One day a steamer ship crashes into the rocks during a storm. One hundred people are on board, and the ship is about to sink. Maggie knows Sirius can help save the people, but bringing him out of hiding will put him in danger.
