Krypto jettisons to Earth after orbiting countless years in space as a test-pilot puppy aboard a malfunctioning rocket ship built by Superman’s father. Landing astray on unfamiliar terrain, the fully-grown Krypto swiftly seeks out companionship on Earth and flips over Kevin Whitney, a young boy who too longs for friendship. Endowed with an amazing array of super powers – ranging from heat vision to super strength to flying - Krypto partners with best pal Kevin to fight evil forces that threaten the safety and well being of the people and animals of Metropolis.
