A different way of telling a story

The Logan family, Terri (Kate Jackson), Dr. Ben (Ted Shackleford) and young son Charlie (Josh Hutcherson) have just made the move from Colorado to Cleveland! There were good job opportunities at the famous Clinic so they go. But, Charlie has the most difficulty, leaving his friends behind. Also, the rented house they inhabit won't allow pets. This is most upsetting, since Charlie immediately rescues a dog by the side of the road. The kindly vet has to amputate one of the canine's front legs and tells Charlie he will keep him at the animal hospital as long as possible. Ben even tells Charlie that they will try to find a new house soon. But, knowing the dog he names Annie deserves better than this, Charlie makes off with her and hides her in the basement of the Cleveland Clinic! A gruff but kind janitor (Stacy Keach) becomes the lad's partner in secrecy. Soon, Charlie lets the dog "loose" at night on the clinic's floors, where they sick folks start to make miraculous improvements, even a grouchy, rich cancer-stricken lady (Rue McClanahan). Dr. Ben, who is part of the research team can't believe it. But, staff reports sightings of the dog at various times, even though he disappears before they can catch him! Oh, and one more thing. The vet told Charlie that Annie probably had a litter of pups somewhere, before surgery, cause she had the look of a nursing mother dog. Sure enough, Charlie finds the pups in the woods and these little charmers start to make the rounds at the Clinic, too. Can this secret operation last forever? What a fine family flick this is, with a sweet story, lovable dogs, a great cast (how nice to see and hear Jackson), and plenty of fun. Keach makes a strong impression, too, while gals, here's your chance to see the now young adult idol, Hutcherson, as a young boy. Doggone, don't wait. Everyone will enjoy Miracle Dogs!

I don't know why there's such a bad review about this movie. I guess it's each one to his/her own though.I stumbled across this film on TV and I was moved by the love that's shown in it. So what if the acting isn't that great? Sometimes the best movies are the simple ones!Young Josh Hutcherson is adorable in it too :) All in all, this is a great family film which will definitely hold you to your seat to keep watching it!I definitely recommend it, especially during the festive season :)

This is a terrific family movie. I am so glad I decided to watch it. I will surely get the DVD. I do have to say it is one of the best that I have watched in a long long time. I wish more movies were like this. I wish all families would take the time to sit and watch this movie. I wish our library had it because I know many children and families that would love to see it but don't have the money to buy it. I found it on our satellite by accident.It is a movie of faith and gives a message of hope. It would be a great movie to have in a hospital or nursing home library. If you want to get an awesome birthday or Christmas present, this DVD would be perfect for anyone. Happy watching.

I'd never seen this movie before, but saw it twice today. It's so cute. The puppies are absolutely adorable. These dogs put a whole new meaning to modern medicine. It's a well known fact that animals have a unique ability to have therapeutic capabilities. Because of that, this makes the basic concept of this movie believable. I don't think the dogs themselves heal, but can alter a person's attitude, which in itself will allow the patient to think positive thoughts. That is what can lead to a healing process.I had one problem, however, the mother dog, Annie, was supposed to have only three legs. Some scenes show her with three, while in others she has four legs. I found it confusing and wondered if there were supposed to be two adult dogs (the father and mother). Yet, I don't believe that issue came up. I guess it all boiled down to bad directing . . . and possibly two different adult dogs were used in the movie. Other than this, it is a fun film. One that puts a smile on your face.
