In 1942, a shy boy receives an exuberant Jack Russell terrier that plays matchmaker and helps protect him from bullies.

Primetime TV tomorrow night looks like it will be a brave and heroic lineup of memorable specials written to remind us of the date (in case we don't have calendars). The WB is the only major network without a special, but it recovers nicely with the memorable story of a heroic and brave Jack Russell terrier.

Thank goodness life goes on with the TV off.
