i really do not see what the bad review be about . i love this movie and i have see it many time . the story be cute and the overall plot be not bad either . the basic storyline be this . herman hermits own a dog name mrs. brown . they take her out on the track one day and they know immediately that she would be a champion race dog . the only problem be that they need money ( entrance fee and etc . ) in order to get start . they decide to play in some small club for money . there be some side story line such a percy and the man herman meet while water flower on his grandfather grave . percy give them a place to stay for a few day . a few day later and mrs. brown get lose and she turn up with percy and who bring her back to herman . herman find out she go to have a puppy . the puppy be a female and at the end of the movie and herman go into the house and a he watch the puppy and he start sing mrs. brown and you have get a lovely daughter . this movie be not gear toward someone who be look for a movie with some sort of deep meaning . this movie have to be watch for what it be a regular and cute story with a happy end .
