Zeus was named after a Greek god, which he is not; he is a dog. Zeus is a Newfoundland dog, a breed that looks like a black bear, can swim like a polar bear, is as strong as a grizzly bear, and as loyal aswell, as loyal as a dog, actually. But despite these remarkable characteristics, he has one major problem: Hes afraid of heights. After being adopted by a gruff but friendly fisherman named Capt. Apache Bluegills, Zeus finds a welcome home in a small fishing town called Flatrock Cove in Newfoundland, Canada. Zeus is quick to admire the Sea Sentinels, the towns elite team of Newfie dogs who keep the shoreline safe by patrolling the seaside cliffs and diving into the ocean at the first sign of trouble. He wishes to join the team but is disappointed when his fear of heights prevents him. When Capt. Bluegills goes on a fishing trip for a few weeks, Zeus decides instead to follow his passion and embark on a journey of his own.Follow the wild adventures of Zeus, the fishermans Newf, as he travels overseas, learns many new things, samples strange and wonderful food, and makes lifelong friends. Of course, keeping out of trouble during his adventures is much harder than he thinks, especially for such a curious fellow as he.Zeus ventures from his home in Newfoundland (which most humans call the Rock) and sails across the Atlantic Ocean all the way to France. There he meets a sophisticated French poodle named Poutine, and together they explore Paris. However, Zeus soon discovers that the people of France believe he is something else entirely: a wild beast, who wants to eat all the fat French babies he can google up! Will Zeus learn to overcome his greatest fear in Paris? Will he escape the French military police, the Gendarmerie nationale, who are determined to capture and cage him? Will he make it back home before Capt. Bluegills returns from his fishing trip? And will the most beautiful of all the Newfie dogs, Electra, be there waiting for him even if he is not a Sea Sentinel?
