appears behind the opening credits, in shots of period objects - furnishings

| How about this for a concept? An autobiographical story about a boy and
his dog that doesn't have any special effects, no talking animals and no
promotional toy tie-ins. Jay Russell's MY DOG SKIP is just a good,

| "Boy and his dog" movies always seem to fly over my head. Perhaps it's
