Much has changed since the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade closed down. Ivan and Ruby are in Wildworld Zoological Park and Sanctuary, where they're looked after by caring people, and around others of their own species. And as for Bob, he's found himself a new home with Julia and her parents, George and Sara. He finds it to be a comfortable existence. Three square meals, belly rubs on demand, all that stuff. It would be perfect if not for the neighbourhood poodle, Snickers, and Nutwit, the squirrel living in his family's tree.
