In MY DOG SKIP, 8-year-old Willie receives a little dog in small-town Yazoo, Mississippi in 1942. Through many adventures, they eventually face a crisis which helps Willie become a man, who eventually grows up to be editor of HARPER’S magazine. This is one of the best-constructed family movies, hampered only by some lightweight vulgarities. MY DOG SKIP is a faithful, hopeful, uplifting coming-of-age movie that children and adults will love.
