Daniel and the Superdogs

Synopsis

Eleven-year-old Daniel is feeling abandoned. His mother died a few months ago and his father Mark, still reeling from the shock, has buried himself in his work. That doesn't leave much time for Daniel and a rift of mutual incomprehension grows between son and father. Happily, Daniel can count on his best friends Colin and William, with whom he hangs around regularly and with whose help he is training an abandoned dog for the Superdog show!

His relationship with April, a girl his age whose mother runs a dog pound, isn't nearly as happy. When all is said and done, however, after a story full of twists and turns, he wins April's affections and he leads his dog Gypsy to victory at the Superdog show.
