About Summerdog
In this heart-tugging kids movie, a vacationing family finds an abandoned mutt and kindly decide to name him Hobo and take him to their home in the big city. When their wicked landlord finds out about the pooch, he threatens to boot them out. Fortunately, Hobo helps to prove that the landlord isn't quite what he seems and manages to protect his newly adopted family.
Directed by John Clayton, Sherry LaFollette-Zabriskie, George LaFollette-Zabriskie, Summerdog leans on a strong ensemble — James Congdon, Tavia Zabriskie, Elizabeth Eisenman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1977.
