Dog Park: Tales of Heartbreak, Laughter, Community and Hope

At Lake Woof everyone has a story. Fourteen-year-old Becky lives with her emotionally abusive father, Bruce. Her mother abandoned her when she was little. Ann is still in shock over the sudden death of her college-aged son Liam. She has lost her will to live but is tasked with caring for Liam’s Dachshund, Choco.

Becky and Ann meet at the dog park, where an eclectic cast of characters sit in a gazebo and swap tales as their dogs frolic and play. Friendships develop through the healing power of storytelling, and Becky and Ann form a deep bond over their losses.

The dog lovers at Lake Woof are concerned as Becky’s father becomes increasingly unhinged. When she discovers the despicable thing Bruce did that caused her mother to leave, will Becky find the power to stand up to him with the support of her new community? Will Ann's bond with Becky give her the strength to start living again?
