Trailer Synopsis Cast

During World War II, a young boy and girl, living with their respective families in an apartment house that had restrictions against pets, adopt a lost dog and hide it in a vacant apartment, which may have been the only vacant apartment in the United States at the time this movie was being filmed. A burglar breaks in and the apartment is damaged when the dog and crook have a tussle. This blows the dog's cover, but the kids enlist him in the K-9 Corps, and the dog distinguishes himself in the WWII Italian campaign

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

A boy and girl find a dog named Lucky. They live in an apartment building where dogs aren't allowed. The dog becomes a hero in chasing off burglars. The dog gets places to be a service dog in the military. This film was taken at the end of World War II. The soldier befriends the kids and the dog. This film is likable viewing with a solid cast of actors. This film is sweet without being sentimental. While I don't recognize the cast members, the film holds up even over time. While it might seem dated, the film can hold up for today's audiences. It needs to be given a chance to be seen. These days, films like this are rarely viewed on television.
