Is it an animal with an engine?

Or a car with floppy ears and a wet nose?

In a far-off desert world, remarkably similar to outback Australia, evolution has taken an unexpected turn, The dominant life form is a creature covered in fur, but with living steel panels beneath. It gnaws on bones and sniffs lampposts, but fills up on oil, break fluid and petrol. And it's wonderfully clever with its wheels and wing mirrors – able to do just about anything . . .

Welcome to the world of TruckDogs
