Now transferred to modern times, the story was made famous by Roman Pisarski's book. The film depicts the friendship between a child and an unusual dog traveller who has felt the pull to a grand adventure ever since his puppy days, and touched millions of hearts with his rail journeys.

The life of Zuzia, whose dad Piotr works in the rail, is changed beyond all recognition when Lampo, an extraordinary travelling dog, comes into her life. The unique sheepdog, whose train journeys become an Internet sensation, immediately turns into the best friend to the girl with a heart condition. Unfortunately, the manager, envious of Lampo's fame, tries everything to remove the dog from his station. Once he succeeds, Zuzia, separated from her beloved companion, falls ill. Even though everyone tries to help her, it soon becomes clear that only the dog's affection and friendship can be the cure that the girl so desperately needs. The Dog who Travelled by Train is an evergreen film for the whole family with a happy ending and an adorable white Swiss shepherd dog as the main protagonist.
