    Heartfelt story to hit all your emotions
    This was truly a beautiful story told thru the eyes of a little boy (August Maturo) about his journey with his German shepherd during WW2 Nazi Germany. I felt it was such a great way to talk about a heart wrenching time in history but in a way to still be enjoyed by the whole family. This was such a different dramatic side of Maturo who delivered an incredible performance full of heart and in some parts gut wrenching. This film is a must see and will leave you wanting for more. Bravo to the film makers for making such a film about a topic not often enough spoken about and to Maturo for the memorable performance 👍👍
