After he hurt his head in an accident, top National Security (NIS) agent Joo Tae-joo is suddenly able to talk to animals. He meets a German shepherd who might be able to help him with his current case.

An accident occurred while guarding the VIP panda 'Ming-Ming', who came as a special envoy from China. In the accident, Tae-Joo injured his head and the VIP disappeared. Fortunately, Tae-Joo is fine, but he is experiencing strange symptoms. That was when the voices of the animals he hated so much began to be heard.

The pets displayed in the supermarket, the fish in the fishbowl of the National Intelligence Service office, and the voices of animals of all kinds were heard, and confusion was about to come when he met Ali, a wandering military dog. Tae-Joo learns that Ali has a clue to the case, and eventually uses his strange symptoms to conduct a joint investigation with Ali.
