Miracle Dogs

Newcomer Josh Hutcherson plays 9-year-old Charley Logan, a kid who goes on a modern-day quest to find permanent homes for an abandoned litter of puppies with the aid of the puppies' mommy, Annie, a homeless Springer Spaniel that his family rescues their first day in a new town.

Kate Jackson plays Charley's mom, Terri Logan, a nurse who's juggling career and family. Ted Shackelford shines as Charley's straitlaced dad Dr. Ben Logan.

Annie loses her leg and becomes the proverbial ''three-legged dog'' in the story, but there's a happy twist. When Charley's chance encounters reveal that Annie has a healing — ''magical'' — effect on people, Charley discovers that her puppies can do the same thing. It's a race against time as Charley and Annie try to save the little ''Miracle Puppies'' from being euthanized at the local dog shelter.

Aided by local veterinarian, Robert ''Doc'' Elliot (Dan Roebuck), Charley, Annie and the puppies win the hearts of grumpy old hospital handyman CW (Stacy Keach), a driven young athlete Kelly McGuire (Alana Austin), and a wealthy hospital patron, Katherine Mannion (Rue McClanahan).

Set in the ''Norman Rockwell'' town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Tag Entertainment's new production of Miracle Dogs delivers a charming, magical slice of hometown American Pie.
