He is a golden hamster of the highest order...Freddy is dissatisfied with his monotonous treadmill life at the pet store. He endures countless indignities in order to get himself adopted so he can lead a more civilized life. After a series of hilarious misadventures - including encounters with a fierce tomcat and two guinea pigs - he writes a witty and heartwarming autobiography about his journey towards self-improvement.
