Retro fridays and airbud

Airbud is a movie about a golden retriever that can play basketball, it would later be made into a franchise where he plays different sports and has kids who talk and become crime fighters.

But that's getting too far, let's stick with the 1st movie. It is about a boy who has a single mom and a sister. Obviously he's lonely a lot as the movie makes an effort to point out. On the other side of the coin is a single man(no this isn't a romantic comedy, he doesn't hook up with the mom) who has a golden retriever dog and they both work as clowns.

This movie always made me want to dress up a dog as a clown, Anyways mr clown is a jerk to what would later be named buddy. He stuffs him in a dog crate that would fall down in the middle of the road. Josh's mom(yes that his name) would stop then here is where my memory gets hazy

I think the dog just randomly shows up at josh's house and he has to hide him then his mom later agrees to keep him. Oh wait I got too far ahead, josh is playing basketball by himself and that's where he discovers buddy can make a shot if he throws the ball at his snout.

He lures him closer at 1st by laying a trail of vanilla puddings. In the meantime mr creepy clown guy is searching for his dog while buddy makes the elementary school basketball team(it was middle school and he wears 4 shoes).

Things come to a head when they both want him so it's up to a judge to let buddy decide. Being a disney movie it has a happy ending and buddy ends up with josh and mr clown gets arrested
