Newcomer (Josh Hutcherson) plays 9-year-old Charley Logan, a kid who goes on a modern-day quest to find permanent homes for an abandoned litter of puppies with the aid of the puppies’ mommy, Annie, a homeless Springer Spaniel that his family rescues their first day in a new town. Kate Jackson plays Charley’s mom, Terri Logan, a nurse who’s juggling career and family and  Ted Shackelford shines as Charley’s straitlaced dad - Dr. Ben Logan.

This family adventure is based on the best-selling children's book ANNIE LOSES HER LEG BUT FINDS HER WAY by Sandra J. Philipson. Annie loses her leg and becomes the proverbial "three-legged dog" in the story, but there’s a happy twist.

 When Charley’s chance encounters reveal that Annie has a healing – "magical" – effect on people, Charley discovers that her puppies can do the same thing. It’s a race against time as Charley and Annie try to save the little "Miracle Puppies" from being euthanized at the local dog shelter. Aided by local veterinarian, Robert "Doc" Elliot (Dan Roebuck); Charley, Annie, and the puppies win the hearts of grumpy ole hospital handyman - CW (Stacy Keach); a driven young athlete - Kelly McGuire (Alana Austin); and a wealthy hospital patron - Katherine Mannion (Rue McClanahan).

Set in the "Norman Rockwell" town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Tag Entertainment’s new production of Miracle Dogs delivers a charming, magical slice of hometown American Pie.

Although the plot is somewhat sublime and predictable, the cast selected for this film adds a special dimension to the experience. Kate Jackson and Wayne Rodgers seem to be aging well. Stacey Keach shows versatility as C.W., especially for those that remember him from the Cheech and Chong era.

The training of the dogs in this movie is far from ambitious, but apart from looking cute, running down halls and licking faces, these animals of course are the key to a most endearing movie. Want to see great animal training? See Eight Below for that! But all in all, a wonderful movie with a second look at Rue McClanahan of The Golden Girls genre who makes you wish there were more people like her in the world. Spend an evening with the kids and see this wonderful film.....

"The reason that I was attracted to this movie is because it is a family movie, its got a little bit of magic to it and I can take my family and be proud to take them to see something that I am in. It is a movie with a message. Its a simple story and you will walk away feeling good and having learned something ..." Kate Jackson
