I haven't seen the movie in a few years but since I own it on DVD, I just watched it again. It is a feel-good movie. Based on a true story, but like someone else noted, if it's based on a true story, why the disclaimer at the end?
It's about a police officer, Daniel Harding (Dean Cane) and his K-9 partner & "shield", Ace. The dog gets accused of biting a burglary suspect during a take down. Dan and other officers protest, saying that Ace is too well trained to bite a suspect, but Ace is still sent to Wenatchee for disposal. Ace escapes but Dan is sent ashes, so he believes Ace has been put down but Dan's daughter, Julia, believes Ace is still alive. Dan dismisses her thinking she's just dreaming/wishful thinking.
The police chief watches video of the original take-down after the criminal gets set free and sees that Dan was right. He apologized for hastily ordering Aces' disposal. Julia does some investigating on her own and ends up leading the thief home to her house. Just as he is attacking Julia & her mother, Ace busts through the glass and attacks the criminal. Dan arrives shortly after, and all ends up well.
It's a bit cheesy but the story is still a good one. Definitely a great family movie. No foul language and no sex scenes, which makes this a wonderful family movie. I wish more movies were made without the foul language and stupid sex scenes. Those directors certainly lose a tremendous number of viewers.
