Gold hamster Raffi belongs to 8-year-old Sammy. The little rodent is something very special! Not only can he kick goals with a football, but he can also sniff smuggled goods – better than a tracker dog. However, one day Raffi is ill and it turns out to be worse than thought: a heart disease, which needs to be operated. This being bad enough as it is gets worse when Raffi is suddenly gone!
