Kylo S Jul 8, 2018 A sweet story about a Edinburgh dog and how he won over the hearts of its people. Another touching Disney film.
Abraham P Jun 13, 2018 Kids today would love this as it really holds up.Had me after the first bark.
Abraham W Feb 22, 2010 Not one of my favorite Disney movies or overly memorable, but it is a likable story set in Scotland that is based off of a real life dog. (First and only full viewing - Fall 2009) See more
