Dogs bark. It's what they do. Sometimes you know what they're barking at - a squirrel, the neighbor's cat, the mailman, another barking dog down the street - but more times than not what set off their barking is a mystery you will never solve. Fred is different. He's my dog. When something happens that upsets him, I have no doubt what it is that set him off. He tells me. That's right, my dog can talk. And he's telling me there is something under the floor. Something dangerous. Something that needs to be addressed immediately. Something that isn't a squirrel or a cat or a mailman or another dog. My name, today anyway, is Carter. I'm a professional liar currently in witness protection. But I am not lying when I tell you there is a blood-sucking monster loose in the city. My life is at risk if I draw attention to myself, and no one in authority here would believe me if I told them anyway, so the only ones who can stop this creature are Fred and me. This is our story.

When they come across a mummified body in a forgotten Kansas ghost town, the discovery transforms Carter into something his talking dog, Fred, can no longer trust: a younger, healthier, physically fit specimen of humanity that to Fred just doesn't smell right anymore. As Carter spends his days in a secret government installation being poked and prodded by scientists, Fred enlists the aid of their cat-loving friend, Julie, to figure out what happened. In the process, they uncover the secret to eternal youth and vitality that Spanish explorer Coronado had seen but completely overlooked centuries earlier in his futile quest for mythical cities of gold. The transformative journey ultimately brings the heroes of "Bad! Bad! Said the Dog" face to face with a swarm of genetically modified creatures, offspring of the blood-sucking monster they defeated a year earlier, now escaped and threatening to destroy all warm-blooded life on Earth.
