In the series of thirteen episodes, we will again meet again Maddie, the (female) dog of a Bavarian dyer, known from the series Maddie and Patter. Together with her puppies – Ada, Buck, Cilla, Drakey and Eda - she lives in the lodge of the kind gamekeeper Václav in the middle of woods, and every day tells them a bed-time story. She wishes all her offspring to grow to be cute doggies, and therefore takes good care of their education. At the beginning of each episode, we will thus see what new things the puppies have learned and what interesting experiences they have had since last time. We will observe them from the moment they make their first steps till the time when they are big and old enough to go and live with their new masters. The puppies however are not the only characters of this series. We will for instance listen to the story of a little rabbit, badgers, little fawn, beaver and racoon dog. But there’s a number of other creatures living in the forest and at the gamekeeper’s lodge, some common, others rare – such as crested tit, sparrow hawk or wood grouse, - who will play a role in the stories. And in some, people will, too, some helping the animals, others causing them trouble.
