I regained full consciousness. My eyes rolled forward so that I could see again. I was paralyzed, except for my head, and I started babbling, looking around at the boys and asking, “Wh-wh-what happened?!” They told me we had been hit by lightning. At first I refused to believe them until they aimed their flashlights at the roof of our tent and showed me the smoking hole in the nylon above where I had been sitting.

You’ll have to buy the DVD or stream the movie to learn the whole story. Suffice it to say that our movie’s title, The Stray, refers not only to the dog who came into our family and saved our lives in more ways than one; it also refers to a young father dying on a mountainside in Colorado, knowing that his only hope for salvation was the tender mercy of an all-powerful, all-knowing God. I will forever be grateful that He came and found me. 46 Solutions Mitch Davis has written and pro- duced such movies as Rocketeer, Newsies, White Fang and Dead Poets Society (Disney), Windrunner (Disney Channel and Warner Home Video), The Other Side of Heaven, starring Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway (Walt Disney Home Entertainment), Language of the Enemy, starring Academy Award winner F.
