In a small factory in Erie, Ohio, nearly a hundred years ago, a small cast iron bulldog bank was painted with sad brown eyes. The bank was purchased by a wealthy father of two boys who wanted to give the bank to his eldest son. This sets the bulldog bank on a magical journey around the world, in which he has many remarkable owners and lives in several different homes, a junk shop and a museum. Amazingly, the bulldog bank lands back in Erie, Ohio, and we find that marvelous journey has transformed the now-valuable little bulldog bank in delightful ways.
