Dogs

For years, Janet Elder said no to her son's pleas for a dog. Living in a tiny apartment and juggling demanding jobs, there was just no room in their lives for a dog. Then, Janet was diagnosed with breast cancer and everything changed. After months of gruelling treatment, granting Michael's wish with a sweet, mischievous poodle called Huck seems the perfect antidote. But when Janet's treatment finally allowed the family to take a vacation, little Huck had to be left behind. In less than 24 hours Huck had slipped through his minder's fence and run away. Broken-hearted, the family flew back immediately to find him. Moved by their plight, everyone in the small town of Ramsey unites to find him. Searching for a tiny puppy in densely wooded areas in freezing conditions becomes a test of faith. A moving reminder that few things unite people more than a shared love of man's best friend.
