Young Charlie and his family have just moved to Cleveland where his parents are working at the Cleveland Clinic. There he meets Annie a three-legged Springer Spaniel who seems to have positive effect on all she meets. Annie has just had puppies which will be destroyed if they don't find homes. Desperate to help his new friends Charlie goes on a quest to find homes for the dogs. This family adventure is based on the best-selling children's book ANNIE LOSES HER LEG BUT FINDS HER WAY by Sandra J. Philipson.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 018713523204 Manufacturer No: 05-52320

Cute puppies bring health and happiness to the denizens of an Ohio hospital in Miracle Dogs. When young Charlie Logan (Josh Hutcherson) and his parents (Kate Jackson and Ted Shackelford) accidentally run into a stray Springer Spaniel, the injury is minor but the dog turns out to have cancer in one of her forelegs, which has to be amputated. To save the dog from euthanasia, Charlie smuggles her into the Cleveland Clinic, where his parents work, and keeps her in the basement with the assistance of the cantankerous custodian (Stacey Keach). But in no time the dog, now dubbed Annie by Charlie, starts wandering through the hospital, miraculously healing the patients. Hospital rules and miraculous healing collide in this adaptation of the popular children's book Annie Loses Her Leg But Finds Her Way, which is sure to warm the heart of any dog-lover. --Bret Fetzer

Very Good delivery - Poor Communication

Reviewed by Piglet2u, 2009-06-02

Prior to purchase, Seller did not reply until I started a complaint resolution with Amazon. The 2nd time I tried to communicate, AFTER I purchased the DVD, I asked a question and was told it was already sold. (to me!) Seller did not click that it was I who had purchased the dvd. She never replied to my question other than this.
Item was well packaged and delivery was relatively fast.

This picture will tug at your heartstrings. It is possitive and uplifting for all ages to view. I know you will be pleased, especially if you are a dog-lover!

A real stinker!

A truly awful movie. Kate Jackson, looking every one of her 55 years, was hopelessly miscast here. She deserves better. I cringed at the closing scenes where she giggled about her sudden craving for "pickles and ice cream". The little boy and the puppies were the only believable characters in this movie although Stacey Keach had his moments.
This is definitely not for anyone over the age of 5.

Great idea, great performances, could have been great.

This film has a great idea and some terrific actors doing excellent acting, including Kate Jackson, Wayne Rogers, Stacy Keach, and especially newcomer Josh Hutcherson (who has since starred in Little Manhattan, Bridge to Terabithia, and several others). The idea is about a boy who has to give away some puppies, and in the meantime when the puppies (or their mother) visit hospital patients, the patients miraculously get better. The reason I only give it four stars is that the film doesn't stay focused on that idea and follow individual stories for each puppy & patient, but gets sidetracked with other characters like a doctor (Wayne Rogers) who has little to do with the main story, a janitor (Stacy Keach), and a dog catcher. These characters are fine in their own rite & well acted, but they take time away from the main theme which could have been developed more and made this a great 5-star film.
