From KIDS FIRST!: Who knew a wolf dog could forever change a young child's life? Classic literature combined with human challenges helps a girl learn to embrace nature and enjoy simple living. When a city girl finds a wounded dog, one with a lot of wolf in him, and decides to keep him, her life is forever changed. To keep him, she must work together with her grandfather and a neighbor to compete in a race that they have to win in order to keep the dog. Along the way she faces many obstacles including a bully, a stranger she isn't comfortable around, and her own nature as she learns to let go of the materialistic part of her in favor of the practical necessities for winning. Some viewers might object to some characters smoking, but there is a strong message that smoking is very bad for you. KIDS FIRST!® Child Juror Comments: "Very good. It didn't copy the book, but the characters read the real book. There was too much emphasis of the city girl thing at first. It was kind of cool when she found the dog and sympathized with it. It was the beginning of her change. It showed lots of scenery along with the characters and it was gorgeous. The bully was abused and he treated others badly, but he changed by the end." 176 min.; Ages 8-12.
