The story

What Is Pluto’s Fledgling About?

The premise of Pluto’s Fledgling without spoilers.

A tiny bird attempts its first flight too early and crashes into Pluto’s water dish. Pluto gently rescues the drenched chick, carries it back to its nest, and watches as it tries again. Determined to help, Pluto stages a lesson—first tugging the bird like a kite, then catapulting it with a makeshift slingshot, guiding its daring ascent.
