In the Doghouse, based on a true story, is about a young man who comes to grips with the importance of the theme of giving over receiving. One morning he opens his front door to something that triggers his thoughts to his childhood. He remembers the day he disappeared and the universe turned upside down, a day when a dog made a difference. Read how the events of one afternoon in the life of a young boy shaped a powerful memory that returned years later to change the boy forever.
