Wombat isn't actually a wombat, but when the homeless dog is discovered, singed and ash-covered after a terrible fire, someone gives her the nickname, and it sticks. Wombat is a "destiny dog." Something inside of her (she nicknames it "Voice ") keeps telling her there's a special someone out there who is meant to be her person. So, surrounded by a devastated town, Wombat takes up residence on a bench near the makeshift community centre to wait for them.
