Webster: Tale of an Outlaw

(4) 4-6 A black lab, abandoned by his third home, arrives at Green Meadows Farm. Though the loving staff names him Webster, the ornery, cynical dog prefers that the fellow shelter animals call him "the Bad Hat," and he soon escapes for a life of adventure and independence. Despite the protagonist's uneven characterization and some unconvincing plot turns, this is a sweet-enough animal drama.
