Dr. John Dolittle has the world in his hands: A beautiful wife at his side, two adorable daughters and a career
that could not go better. One night, he nearly runs over a dog with his
car. The dog yells "bonehead" and disappears. From then on, his childhood
ability is back: To communicate with animals. Unfortunately, the word of
Dolittle's ability is spreading quickly. Soon, many animals from rat to
horse flock to his place to get medical advice. But his colleagues suspect
he's going mad, and as the clinic Dolittle used to work for is about to
being taken over for a huge amount of money, many decisions have to be
made. Believe him? Put him into a mental institution? Sell the clinic?
But also his family is close to breaking apart. Until a circus tiger falls
seriously ill.
