Good Boy!

12-year-old Owen Baker yearns for companionship and longs for a dog to call his own. Living in a transient lifestyle with his family, he hopes that adopting a pet will help build lasting bonds.

Owen adopts a scruffy Border Terrier named Hubble, marking the beginning of a heartfelt journey. Hubble's arrival fills a void in Owen's life, as he navigates childhood challenges and the bullies Frankie and Fred.

Owen finds solace in his friendship with Connie Flemming, a kindred spirit who lives nearby. Their connection deepens as they embark on adventures together, each bringing their unique perspectives on life.

Owen discovers that Hubble is no ordinary dog; he embodies the intellect of Canid 3942, a celestial messenger on a critical mission. This revelation expands Owen's view of the universe and challenges his understanding of canine roles.

As Owen walks various local dogs, including Barbara Ann the Poodle and Wilson the Boxer, he learns more about Hubble’s mysterious origins. Each dog adds their character to the unfolding story, enriching Owen's journey.

Owen uncovers the broader mission behind Hubble's presence: to prepare Earth’s canines for the Greater Dane's impending evaluation. This mission highlights the extraordinary responsibility that dogs hold in their relationship with humanity.

Owen learns that the Greater Dane intends to evaluate Earth's dogs based on specific standards. The fate of Hubble and other dogs hangs in the balance, emphasizing the stakes of their mission.

Determined to impress the Greater Dane, Owen and his friends begin training the local dogs. This teamwork fosters camaraderie and the realization that they have the power to change how dogs are viewed on Earth.

As the day of evaluation approaches, Owen passionately argues to convince the Greater Dane of Earth’s dogs’ worth. However, his arguments initially fail to sway her, adding tension to the situation.

The Greater Dane threatens to reclaim Hubble and take him back to the stars. Owen's heart breaks at the thought of losing his beloved friend, prompting him to take action.

Owen repairs Hubble's faulty communication device and sends a heartfelt message. His emotional plea reveals the deep bond between them, capturing the attention of the Greater Dane.

Intrigued by Owen's message, the Greater Dane questions why Earth's dogs have chosen love over dominance. This philosophical exploration deepens the understanding of human-dog relationships.

In a moment of solidarity with Owen, Hubble renounces his designation as Canid 3942 and simply asks to be called Hubble. This act symbolizes the bond they share and the value of their relationship.

Moved by Hubble’s expression of loyalty, the Greater Dane re-evaluates her stance. She acknowledges the unique bond between humans and dogs and decides to let them remain on Earth.

In a surprising turn, Owen's parents decide to settle down, ending their nomadic lifestyle. This newfound stability allows Owen and Hubble to fully integrate into each other’s lives, solidifying their bond.
