Aspiring service dog Chester (scared of loud noises, he didn't quite pass the test) bonds with fifth grader Gus, allowing Gus, who has autism, to make human connections in new and thrilling ways. Narrated by Chester, the bond between the two is palpable and touching, offering a poignant glance into the depth of dog-and-child love.
