A shy boy is unable to make friends in Yazoo City, Mississippi in 1942, until his parents give him a terrier puppy for his ninth birthday.

Based on the best-selling Mississippi memoir by the late Willie Morris.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warmly nostalgic coming-of-age story where a boy's bond with his dog becomes the heartbeat of a small Mississippi town. It's the kind of film that settles into you gently, mixing childhood wonder with the ache of growing up.
