Johannes is the eyes, he uses his swift speed and brilliant wit to watch over the park and report everything back to the three ancient Bison who ensure everything runs smoothly, this is a job that Johannes takes very seriously.
But nothing stays the same forever, for better or worse. Soon the park has more humans, ones who cause havoc and too many problems, there’s a strange new building that goes up filled with mysterious rectangles that threaten to make Johannes a kept dog, and new creatures that cause everything Johannes ever knew to seem impossibly small.
