This movie centers around the embodiment of the courageous dog, Stubby, who during the first World War, meets an American soldier, who befriends him and gives him the name, so Stubby accompanies him during the war, where he did great things that makes him the most courageous dog in America.
Hats off to the chutzpah of the filmmakers behind this thoughtful if somewhat plodding effort, which will appeal largely to young (or young-at-heart) dog lovers cum budding war historians - not exactly a massive demographic.
I'm glad to report that I not only saw the tale of a soldier and his loyal pooch through to the end; at one point, I used a shirt cuff to blot away the wet eyes.
