Synopsis
Soon after being taken in by a loving new mother and father (Mr. Matt Tomley and Mrs. Laura Tomley), two young former orphans (Sal and Ray) do their best to keep their furry, four-legged friend — a lovable Great Dane named Chestnut — a secret from their adoptive parents and save him from a grim fate at the city pound, where he would certainly be euthanized.[2]
