problem is, he's hit one dead end after another trying to reach
this bitter young Marine. Enter Brenden's big-hearted and
courageous black Labrador, Nelson. With boundless energy,
contagious optimism, and a big heart, Nelson shows them both what
it means to live a truly abundant life. Praise for Alive Day:

seven- decade career in Hollywood. Longtime fans and new fans alike
