Movie description:
Thirteen year-old city brat Ben has done it again ... and his struggling, single mother has had enough of him getting into mischief. Now, Ben has to choose between going down the path of Juvi hall or spending the summer in Iowa on a farm with his estranged grandfather, Jack. The day after arriving, Ben is ready to leave. To help Ben get a friend, Jack gets him a smart farm dog from an animal shelter to keep Ben company and in line. Between the dog and a friendly neighbor, Ben soon learns life lessons about friendship, family and responsibility. It may take a village to raise a child, but when you only have a handful of people and a dog at your side, you have to make do with what you have. Through it all, Ben has the most memorable summer of his life.
A »feel good« tear jerker about a boy and his dog. Ben, a city boy in Chicago, being raised by a single mom, is headed down the wrong path. When he gets in trouble with the law, the judge gives him the choice of going to juvenile detention for three years or going to live on a farm in Iowa with his grandfather. Reluctantly, the boy chooses the farm but soon finds himself at odds with his grandfather, Jack. Realizing he is not much of a companion for the boy, Jack gets Ben a dog from the animal shelter. It’s a strained relationship, but »Dog« finally becomes a part of Ben’s life.
