Plot Summary

Toni Whitney and her family adopt a baby seal named Andre. When he grows up and starts getting into mischief, he antagonizes some of the fisherman in town. One of them, Billy Baker, is upset with the Whitneys because Toni's father, Harry, was appointed Harbor Master instead of him, partially because of Andre. But when Andre's humorous antics attracts media attention, further squeezing out Billy, and running down his business, he gets even more upset. Written by Brian W Martz

Quotes [last lines]
Adult Toni Whitney: [voice over narration] Many years ago, a seal named Andre made his first historic swim home and his life became legend. Every winter he lived the life of a gentlemen at the country aquarium. Every Spring my Dad set him free, and every time Andre made the two hundred and fifty mile journey home to spend the Summer with us, his family. By the time Andre was twenty four years old, he could hardly see. But that didn't stop him from completing his final trip. In all the journeys since my youth, and on all the journeys I have ahead of me, I know I'll never find a better friend than Andre.
