A Dog's Tale

Ray Sabatini is a hard-working father who does his best to provide for his family. But do they appreciate the solid roof over their heads and the abundant Italian-American food on their table? To escape the constant demands for a better life from his wife, Kate, the surly criticism of his son, Stanley, and the sarcastic scorn of his mother-in-law Janet, Ray goes for a walk with his best friend—his loyal dog, Clyde—contently smoking his signature cigar and throwing a squeaky toy for Clyde to chase. Then Ray's life and his world suddenly alter beyond belief.
