Book-based dog tale has some emotional intensity.

This is the rare sort of family movie that actually strives to engage its audience.

Excellent family drama that celebrates not only a young boy's deep love for a dog but the need to stand up for what you believe in no matter what.

There's only so many scenes of a boy being licked in the face by a dog that one can take.

This film is about a boy who finds a dog who is mistreated by its owner. Marty keeps the dog without telling one that he has the boy until he figure out what to do. Mart would do any thing to save this dog. Shiloh has a really good plot and good acting. This film made me cry at the end. If u likes a dog drama or a tearjerker, you should give this film a try.

The ending is so sad, why did they even have to show that part. It just make you feel worse by watching the movie.
