T and his family rescue a injured, lost dog and raise him to become part of the
family. When Hurrican Katrina sweeps
through New Orlenas, however, T and Buddy are separated – evacuated to
different parts of the country. A
beautiful story of love, loyalty, and letting go, with characters that show us
what survival means and why we should not take anything or anyone for granted.
