PUPPY BREATH

Description:

Ben is on his death bed, but refuses to enter Heaven's Pearly Gates without his beloved dog, Chewy.

KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

Imaginatively presents serious family relationship issues with gentle humor and compassion. It will appeal to kids and adults, and dog lovers will be particularly responsive. The settings are outstanding, easily visualized and dramatically different - i.e.. heaven's gate, outer space, hospital room, football field. The mother models an admirable career and great compassion. The children's opinions are respected and upheld. The proposed fantasy of dogs sent from heaven to earth "on special assignment" combines two parallel stories into one satisfying drama.
