Young Christian Davis finds a stray dog named Pluto and decides to bring it home. The movie tells the true story of how Pluto impacts the Davis family, who are struggling in many ways.
A family's love for their pet pooch is reciprocated mightily in writer-director Mitch Davis' The Stray, a movie with a gentle spirit and tone shifts that go all over the place.
The desire to tug at your heartstrings starts to feel desperate after a while. The Stray doesn't just want to make you cry, it wants to reach right into your eye sockets and squeeze your tear ducts until there's not an ounce of moisture left.
