Air Bud (1997)

A young boy and a talented stray dog with an amazing basketball
playing ability become instant friends. Rebounding from his father's
accidental death, 12-year-old Josh Framm moves with his family to
the small town of Fernfield, Washington. The new kid in town, Josh
has no friends and is too shy to try out for the school basketball team.
Instead he prefers to practice alone on an abandoned court, he befriends
a runaway golden retriever named Buddy. Josh is amazed when he
realizes that Buddy loves basketball...that is playing basketball...and
he is GOOD! Josh eventually makes the school team and Buddy is named
the Team Mascot. Josh and Buddy become the stars of halftime.
Buddy's half-time talent draws media attention. Unfortunately, when
Buddy's mean former owner, Norm Snively, comes along with a scheme
to cash in on the pup's celebrity, it looks like they are going to be separated.
