Air Bud

When 12-year-old Josh Framm finds himself in a new city with no friends, he's too shy to try out for the basketball team. But while practicing one day, he meets Buddy, a runaway golden retriever, who surprises him with his ability to score baskets. Josh and Buddy eventually make the school team, and the dog's extraordinary talents spark a media frenzy—one that attracts Buddy's greedy former owner, Norm Snively, who wants to cash in on the dog's notoriety. Josh and Buddy must keep one step ahead of the scoundrel—while at the same time rallying their school team to the state finals.
