Featured review
like the big dog more
Little Orvie Stone (Johnny Sheffield) is desperate to get a dog. He tries to be good, but it's too hard. He throws a rock which breaks the window and hits his father. He befriends a giant stray dog which only leads to more broken windows and trouble. He keeps trying and even sneaks a puppy into the house.
Orvie is basically Dennis the Menace. This movie is based on a 1934 book. Child actor Johnny Sheffield would later play Tarzan's adopted son and later still, Tarzan knockoff Bomba. I like the big dog more. It has better comedic potential. Orvie could try to sneak him into the house and cause complete mayhem. It would be one of many great small kid and big dog comedies.
