Air Bud - Champion auf vier Pfoten (1997)
Der elfjährige Josh Framm leidet unter dem Tod seines Vaters. Als ihm Buddy, ein herrenloser Golden Retriever, über den Weg läuft, findet er wieder den Spaß am Leben. Erst recht, als er entdeckt, dass sein neuer Freund ein außergewöhnliches Talent hat: Buddy kann nämlich Basketball spielen. Und das sogar so gut, daß er Joshs Schulmannschaft zu spektakulären Erfolgen führt. Auf dem Gipfel seiner Popularität - Buddy wird zum Maskottchen auserkoren - taucht überraschend dessen brutaler Besitzer auf...
