My Dog Skip tells the story of Willie Morris (1935?-1999) who gets a dog for his birthday.

Willie's (Frankie Muniz) best friend named Dink (Luke Wilson) goes off to War World II.

Willie's mother (Diane Lane) decides to get Willie a dog for his birthday. But his father (Kevin Bacon) vatoes the idea.

Willie names the dog Skipper, Skip for short.

In the spring, Willie's father lets him join Little League. And he hits him and Skip runs away. Willie Morris sends out a search party for Skip and his father goes the police.

My thoughts on My Dog Skip. First, if you are going to watch this movie, I reccomend to watch this movie with a box of tissues (because there is drama in this movie.) It was to bad that the real Willie Morris died before this movie. I reccomend this is you love drama movies. Plus there are some actors that you may or may not ever heard of before. I must warn parents that this movie does have language going on (so the best thing to do, if don't want your kids to hear bad lanuage, is to wait and see if an edited verison shows on tv in the future. Plus there is also some violence. So it seems to me, that this is Stuart Little in resverse.

This movie will make you laugh as much as it will make you cry. Frankie Muniz (as Willie Morris) does an incredible job as a 9 year old boy longing for a friend during one particular hot summer in the midst of World War II. A loving mother played by Diane Lane. An over protective father played by Kevin Bacon. And a local high school sports hero named Dink Jenkins, played by Luke Wilson. Praise also to Harry Connick, Jr for his subtle narration; and Enzo ("Skip" the dog). Behind the father's back, Willie's mother buys Skip and gives the dog to him on his birthday. The father quickly takes him away - telling Willie he's not ready for a dog. Luckily the mother talks the father into letting the boy keep the dog... and the rest is history. Skip helps Willie thru some tough times... meeting girls, befriending the tougher kids from school, keeping Willie company one night in the grave yard, walking back and forth to all his little league baseball games, etc. This is just a great adventure seen thru the eyes of an innocent boy and his best friend - his dog. Great cast. Great story. If you ever truly loved a dog, you should see this movie. Old man Walt Disney would have been proud to have his name associated with "My Dog Skip".

This was a good Family film he helps out a little dog who he takes in and a bunch of stuff happens I liked it
