When young dreamers, Sally Ann (MACKENZIE VEGA) and Ray (ABIGAIL BRESLIN, Little Miss Sunshine) rescue a Great Dane from an oncoming truck, outside the front of their orphanage, all their doggy dreams are realised. After years of wishing for a puppy pal, the two decide it must be heaven sent - and decide to hang on to him, naming the charismatic canine, Chestnut. While they believe he was a gift from the gods, they soon suspect the nuns who run their convent may not feel the same way, and the girls must set about keeping their super-sized secret under wraps.

A tame task, perhaps - but that is only the start of things to come when the two girls find themselves lucky enough to be adopted by loving couple Matt and Laura Tomley (JUSTIN LOUIS and CHRISTINE TUCCI). Facing the move to a New York apartment with their new 'parents', the girls let Chestnut loose in Central Park.

With the family of their dreams within reach, the girls pull every smart pet trick in the book to hide their growing mischievous pup, survive the big city, and let dreams come true.

Directed by Robert Vince (Air Buddies) and filled with charming performances by Academy Award ® Nominees, this inventive tale of love, courage and learning to trust those around you is sure to have audiences begging for more! Including a behind the scenes bonus features, this is a family comedy to watch together time and time again.

Review: Animal loving children, especially those keen to get a pet will soon adopt Chestnut as their favourite movie. Sal and Rae are orphaned sisters who are lucky enough to get adopted together, the only problem is that their new father is allergic to dogs, which is only a minor set back compared to their new home, an apartment building in New York that does not allow dogs. Hinding their dog Chestnut becomes more tricky, as the cute like pup grows into a Great Dane.

But when two thieves target their building, they get more than they bargin for. Chestnut is onto them, but can he stop the thieves and bring a family back together. A moving and delightful story about two young girls and their dog, with a beautiful ending that will bring joyful tears to your eyes.
