Plot[]
The story starts in 1939 in New Orleans, Where a Dachshund named Itchy Itchiford searches a Dog Pound's cells for a dog by the name of Charlie (A German Shepherd mix). The Dogs (along with a few others Itchy freed) escape the pound by stealing the Dogcatcher Van and smashing it through the pound gate. minutes later, as the escaped dogs head to their homes, Charlie and Itchy head for their hideout in the Louisiana swamps, which is a rusted Riverboat Casino, (Where the main event every day is the Cat Races.) currently run by Charlie's business partner, Carface Carruthers. Upon Charlie and Itchy's return, the patrons celebrate Charlie's return. (Can't Keep a Good Dog Down) Killer informs his boss, Carface of Charlie's return, and Carface, not wanting to share the profits with Charlie, tries to give him a silver watch, stolen from a clock shop, and hopes to poison him with hemlock berries as a back-up plan, but realized too late that he gave Charlie wild blueberries, but after giving Charlie the silver pocket watch, with no witnesses, Carface And his hench-dogs stuff Charlie in a trash bin and tosses it in the murky swamp water, where it sinks as Charlie drowns. Itchy, who came too late, runs for his life to hide from Carface, all the way to the Mardi Gras. During a parade, He imagines that the parade floats look like Charlie. Itchy, after crying loudly runs for home.
Charlie wakes up and finds himself in heaven, where he encounters an ethereal and beautiful pink Whippet, Annabelle. Annabelle shows Charlie about Heaven and how much it can offer by doing just about anything in Heaven, like eating whatever you want, turning into any dog breed you want, and producing whatever your mind wants. Charlie enjoys this place, but, goes into despair, that he didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Itchy or his friends when he got murdered. Annabelle then shows Charlie his life clock made of gold, which stopped, which is said to restore His life but will never return to Heaven, if activated. after a few distractions, Charlie hides His life clock in a cloud. (Let Me be Surprised) Charlie gives His silver watch to Annabelle and Activates His life watch while dancing the tango with Annabelle and holding on to her, pulling the both of them to earth. After returning, Charlie and Annabelle get out of the swamp, as Charlie, not wanting Annabelle to take away his life watch, runs for it.
Reuniting with Itchy at His junkyard home, Charlie tells Itchy a plan to Get back at Carface. As Charlie and itchy prepare to infiltrate the casino, Annabelle attacks Charlie demanding his life clock returned, but almost blows their cover when two guards hear shouting. After escaping capture, Charlie and the others encounter a cat named Tabasco, who is trying to rescue his girlfriend from Carface. Itchy and Charlie recruit Tabasco for the plan. With a roll of firecrackers to distract the guards, Annabelle manages to get inside the Casino. Annabelle gets lost for a few minutes, but locates the back door, allowing Charlie and the others to get in. At Tabasco’s request, they free the race-cats, including His girlfriend Praline, as everyone else comes across another room, once inside said room, they see Carface with a young girl talking to one of the race cats, saying that #62 has the flu, #78 has a broken bone, and that #18 is sleeping more than normal, making Charlie realize that the girl can talk to animals and that Carface is using this information to rig the games in His favor. Carface then tells his henchmen to not feed #18 anymore if She’s caught sleeping. Charlie tells Itchy to assist Tabasco to help the race-cats escape as Charlie with the intent of getting back at Carface, frees the girl, who introduces herself as Anne-Marie as they race back to the junkyard, with the promise of finding her a home.
Later that night, after the rest of the race-cats rest in the junkyard cars, Praline stays in Itchy’s shed, as Tabasco keeps watch. Soon, Anne-Marie at Itchy's urging suggests going to an Orphanage, where someone might adopt her. Charlie, not wanting to lose His meal ticket, dissuades her saying that most orphanages don't have a kind environment, and if people learn that Anne-Marie can talk to animals, People would exploit her, treating her as a freak. As Anne-Marie was asleep, Charlie talks to Itchy about a plot to open Their Casino and Housing, using the latter to keep Anne-Marie from getting suspicious. Praline thanks Itchy for giving them a place to stay, but won't acknowledge Charlie, since the German Shepherd is a dog breed that chases cats. Inside a fancy car, Annabelle demanded Charlie stay on his side, as Charlie says Annabelle is to stay on her side, much to Annabelle’s disdain. While asleep in the same car as Annabelle, Charlie has a horrifying dream, involving Carface putting Charlie through many deaths, and Charlie wakes up in a cold sweat, With only minutes until dawn, Charlie goes to town to collect some money.
In the morning, as everyone wakes up, Charlie returns with a bag of stolen quarters from the town fountains, without being seen. Soon, with a total of slightly over $500 in change, Charlie hopes to use it to bet on the winning horse, after Anne-Marie is told by the other horses that Chawhee will win because it's His birthday today. knowing that underage gambling isn't allowed, Charlie puts on a trench coat with a long hat, a beard made of white yarn, Sunglasses, and on a wheelchair, calling himself old man Barkin. seconds later, Anne Marie encounters a Man named Harold, who offers to help Charlie to the Betting Window. Charlie silently gives $500 to Harold to bet on Chawhee, which Harold has doubts, but with His help, Charlie bets the money seconds before the race began, and in the race, Chawhee crosses first, which won Charlie $25,000, causing him to faint from the excitement. Itchy, feeling that Harold should be rewarded, gave a confused Harold a cut of the prize money, $9,000.
In a montage, as Charlie continues winning money, in sports betting, he uses some of the money to buy clothes for Anne-Marie, some doghouses for His friends, and a place to call home along with a casino of His own. Anne-Marie decides to leave since Charlie used the money to help His friends and no one else, but Charlie manages to convince Anne-Marie that They will find her a good home, soon. Back at Carface's Casino, Which is suffering from a lack of customers, Killer tells His boss that Charlie is still alive, after Carface's Accountant, a Violet Whippet named Mauve, saw Charlie's pawprints in the vents and reported that the Race Cats are still missing. Carface in a rage attempts to kill off Killer by Piranha, but Killer, in a desperate attempt to save His own life, says he has a ray gun.
Then, Later, Charlie, Itchy, and Anne-Marie along with the cats visit a dilapidated church to give food (Fully Cooked Salmon, Fried Eggs, Bread Bits, Blueberries, and Strawberries) to Charlie's first female friend, Flo, a Rough Collie, her newlywed husband, an under-confident Welsh Corgi named Delta, and a group of puppies they adopted. In the past, Charlie wanted to marry Flo, but turned him down, leaving Charlie broken-hearted, and the reason Charlie went down a road to avarice. (What's Mine is Yours) afterward, Anne-Marie rests on the top floor of the church.
That night, Charlie has another horrifying nightmare, this time, involving his past. After waking up, he sees Annabelle watch over Anne Marie, so Charlie asks what's wrong, and Charlie responded that since returning to Earth, he’s been having nightmares. Annabelle responds that as long as Charlie’s alive, the nightmares will not stop. Unknown to Flo overhearing the conversation, and learning that Charlie died and that Annabelle was a spirit...
Later, Charlie helps Anne-Marie find a home, then he asks Annabelle for advice, as the sun was going down at Audubon Park, Anne-Marie encounters Harold and Kate, who offer Anne-Marie a home, after learning She's an orphan. Anne-Marie takes the offer. Meanwhile, as Annabelle and a sorrowing Charlie head for the junkyard, Carface and Killer locate Charlie and shoot him for ten seconds. however, to Their surprise, They learn that Charlie is unhurt, as Charlie slips into a storm drain. They go to capture Annabelle, but they Run and let Annabelle be captured by the dog catcher, suspecting her of having a stolen silver watch.
Unaware of Annabelle's capture, Charlie traverses the sewers and is attacked by a group of rats, and their leader, King Gator. As Charlie tries to escape, One rat bites on Charlie's tail, causing him to howl in a musical tone, making King Gator tell His rats not to hurt him, since he won't eat anyone with Musical talent. (Music is like Gold) after the musical number, King Gator lets Charlie leave the sewer in peace.
