A bull terrier recounts his rise from the dirty waterfront bowery of New York City to dog fights to kindly stable hand Jeremiah Edward Emmett Augustus Nolan (Edmund Gwenn)'s dog in a rich man's estate. When the master orders the dog to leave, his daughter makes him a bet that the dog would win the big dog show.
This is as good as many of the 70's doggie movies. Instead of having two contests, it would be nice to make it all about one contest. Then there is the daddy issues. I would rather skip that. It's not laid out well enough for it to be a good story element. There could be more done with the training section and the dog show itself. This is nice even if it drags a little towards the end.
