Description:   

On Julie's fourteenth birthday, her father surprises her with Rudy - a weird boxer golden retriever mix with a mashed face and a furry tail. But Julie's world is soon turned upside down by her father's departure from the family home, her mother's emotional breakdown and her dad's new girlfriend, who isn't the woman he thinks she.
