On the Red Carpet with Shiloh the dog, who plays Pluto, in “The Stray,” and his trainer.
These are the real men who the story is about and the kid actors who portray them.

The weekend is finally here! If you are looking for something to do this weekend…say for date night, a night out with friends, or a night out with your family, I highly suggest going to see the movie, “The Stray.”
I was lucky enough to attend the premiere screening of “The Stray” a couple nights ago, and I was so impressed with this movie. I had not seen the trailer, so I was expecting it to be a film focused solely on a dog. This is not the case at all. The movie is a true story about the Davis family and a stray dog, “Pluto, who appears from out of nowhere just in time to save a family that is falling apart. Pluto is not only a guard dog – he’s a guardian angel. Sometimes help comes in the most unlikely forms. Sometimes prayers are answered in the most unlikely ways. Sometimes one dog can change everything.” In light of everything that has taken place in Las Vegas this week, it was great to see a movie that focuses on love and family. In fact, I left the movie wanting to go out and get our family a dog. If you know me, then you will find this as surprising as I did, because I am so not a pet person.
The movie is directed by Mitch Davis, (who also directed the film “The Other Side of Heaven,” which starred Anne Hathaway and Christopher Gorham) with Sarah Lancaster, David Cassidy, Connor Corum, Scott Christopher (many from Utah will recognize Scott from Granite Flats), and Jacque Gray as the main cast. I worked with Scott on Granite Flats and Jacque in a commercial, so it was fun to watch them in this film. The entire cast did a phenomenal job!
The film opens today, October 6 in 600 theaters nationwide. To find out if “The Stray” is being shown at a theater near you, or to purchase tickets, click here.
After you see the movie, come back and let me know your thoughts. Oh, and just a piece of advice, take some Kleenex with you, you just might need it.
