Lonnie (Johnny Whitaker) has a dog he wants to train as a bird-dog, but his father Harve (Earl Holliman) thinks the dog is not trainable and gives it away. Lonnie teams up with his best friend Text (George Spell) to get the dog back in this straightforward Disney film.

Then a misunderstood joke leads to trouble, and the boys have to choose between loyalty to family and their love for their dog.

However, others may find its tale of determination and racial harmony appealing. --Bret Fetzer
