This is the story of a girl, her dog, and a man who needs to regain his self-reliance. Curtis Peterson, a strong, vital man in his late twenties, and his wife Marie want to start a family. Tragedy strikes when Curtis is paralyzed in a construction accident. Meanwhile, another family welcomes an addition to its household. Teenager Steve Barnett adopts an 8 week old puppy to train as part of a church project. The Barnett family is to house-train Banner for a year. Then the dog would be returned to the Kansas Specialty Dog Service, where it will be trained to assist the disabled and visually impaired. Steve's sister, 8 year old Emily, ends up taking care of Banner, and falls in love with the dog. Her happiness is offset by the tragic circumstances affecting Curtis and Marie. When Marie takes a job as a waitress to support the family, Curtis is left to sit at home alone, wallowing in self pity. Fate intervenes when Steve's father stops at a diner, where he meets Marie and suggests she call KSDS. She does so, despite the reluctance of her husband. Trouble ensues when Emily runs away with Banner to eccentric Aunt Edna's.

Strange "movie".

The plot and characters are "normal", why does everyone watching it try to figure out what it "is"? At first I thought I had turned to the religious network that plays religious films- no, it's on the "THIS" network.... Ah ha! Directed by. Tom Whitus- who directs "faith and family" stuff. Now it makes sense! Actors I'd never heard of, formula plots dug right out of the trash from 1940s film cutting room floors maybe - In this "film" (sigh) there's a dog involved, a bitter newly paralyzed man, another family tenuously attached to that man, strangers and "love". Almost every scene seems bathed in a sickly sweet golden early morning light- like they do on the series "Heartland". . The scenes are too contrived, "crafted". Acting isn't terrible, it's just the entire feeling of the film is oddly nonspecific, you can't put your finger on why the film is just..."weird". This project isn't cheaply made, but the dialogue is banal at best. Best watched by small children who may benefit from life's lessons and moral themes.
