Dove Worldview:
Here is a story of a boy and his adventures with his hunting dogs during the depression. Billy wanted hunting dogs so bad he even prayed about it. His grandfather tells him that maybe God wants Billy to meet him part-way. Billy figures out what his grandfather means and earns the money for the dogs. He learns about hard work and saving for something he wants. Once Billy receives the dogs, he has to train them to be coon hunting dogs and they learn to become the best in their area. But along the way the three face challenges, tragedies and sadness.
This is a faith-based story of growing up, loyalty and making important choices. It is a movie that is entertaining for the entire family, although there are some scenes that may be frightening for younger children, much like those in the classic movie"Old Yeller". Due to these scenes this movie is awarded the Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for ages 12+.
