Golden Charlie

Charlie is adopted as a small pup from an animal shelter. He is given as a birthday present to young Scott. Scott is an only child and always wanted a dog. He immediately reaches out with a loving heart to the pup. He understands that having a pet in the family demands a lot of patience and responsibility. With his parents' help, he nurtures Charlie from a pup to a healthy dog. Young Scott calls the puppy "Golden Charlie" because of his color and how precious he is.

At first Charlie is a shy puppy: untrained, mischievous and with bad habits. He is eventually trained. He becomes a champion in running the dog obstacle course and is awarded a gold medal. Everyone is proud of Charlie.
