Stewart Peterson is very effective as a 12-year-old, hurtling down the path toward manhood with hounds at his side. (Though how he raised $50 to get the pooches in that economic climate is still a mystery.) <I>--Tom Keogh</I> Reader Reviews I couldn't help myself. This is a touching movie with all the flavor of a time gone by. Very intimate to detail of life in early America. I won't reveal too much but It is so good it is one of my favorites of all time now. On my first viewing, my two Springer Spaniels were watching it with me, one on each side of me on the sofa, and I couldn't help myself but cry unashamed at a few points. I'm just soft for caring for dogs and the reality of how beautiful they really are in their pure care for their place as man's best friend. This is a unique and one-of-a-kind story that I recommend to anyone who loves dogs and kids and family.
