About: A heartfelt and moving view of humanity, good and bad, through the empathic eyes of the ultimate outsider—a poor, lost dog, who just happens to have superpowers.
Krypto the Superdog is a heartfelt and moving origin story for Superman’s beloved dog. We start with Krypto’s origins, seeing his life with Kal-El on Krypton, before he is sent into space and crash-lands on Earth. From there, we follow Krypto as he faces a new world for the first time. He travels from town to town, meeting and befriending people and working to solve their problems. In the end, he finds, and is found by, Superman.
Super Dog to the Rescue!
