Featured review
"Put on your slipper." "I'm going to put it somewhere else first."
The not so innocent adventures of a young boy and a stray dog which is comical and hardly sentimental, which a lot of "dog movies" tend to be guilty of. This movie goes for more of a realistic tone, versus the cliched Hollywood ways. Little Orvie Stone, played by John Sheffield, is believable in his role and is quite good, as is everybody else.
Why this movie is rated a 5.7, I don't know. Perhaps if more saw it, it would get a higher rating.
