This is a very touching story about a boy named Josh played by Kevin Zegeres, and man's best friend an incredible Golden Retriever named Buddy with an awesome talent. But, there's just one problem. Buddy does not really belong to Josh. He belongs to Happy Slappy the clown played by Michael Jeter, who's not very happy and wants his dog back. You won't believe what happens next! The part I loved the most is when Josh rescues Buddy from Happy Slappy the clown. He chases them in his old truck that soon falls apart piece by piece. I couldn't stop laughing. My favorite character is Buddy. He helps Josh believe in himself again, and find happiness after losing his father. I rate this movie 5 out of 5 stars, because it teaches you about friendship and teamwork. I recommend this movie to everyone, because it's an adorable story. What's next for Buddy? This has been Ny'Asia Bell reporting for KIDS FIRST!
