Dakota

Recently-widowed Kate Sanders (Abbie Cornish) lives on her family's farm in Georgia with her daughter Alex (Lola Sultan). Life on the farm is a challenge and things only get more complicated when combat dog Dakota arrives on their doorstep delivered by Sergeant CJ Malcolm (Tim Rozon), fulfilling a promise he made to his friend and fellow Afghanistan veteran Marine Clay Sanders (Kate's late husband and Alex's father) to bring Dakota home to them if he died. Kate divides her time between the farm and running the volunteer fire department. Dakota watches over the family and becomes a local hero by helping out around town. Meanwhile, the local Sheriff (Patrick Muldoon) knows an old long-buried secret: that the Sanders' farm is valuable; he has been leaning on Kate to sell and will stop at nothing to get his hands on their land. With help from Alex and Dakota, Kate realizes the true value of the farm; meanwhile, Dakota teaches Alex that nothing's better than having a dog as a best friend.
