Tommy Stubbins (Dolittle) was a young boy just beginning his teenager hood. Well trying too at least... His aunt and uncle have not approved him being a apprentice of a vet, when they're hunters themselves. Kicked from his home and not wanting to be more of a burden then he already was, stayed in the woods. Away from the villagers and away from his hunter 'family.' But from Dr. Dolittle's perspective Tommy has gotten more distant. Becoming concerned and curious when his apprentice has showed with scraps and bruises, as well as a red mark on his porcelain skin. Sending his parrot friend after him after she too had become curious...
