Summary: Hero wasn't hard to find
Comment: The Donovans, a three-generation family of seven, all have their phobias (coupled with a seeming lack of common sense): whether it's the dark, spiders, window envelops, noises in the dark, doctor's shots, or shadows, they combine to make for a pretty dysfunctional bunch.

So naturally, they go to the pound to get a dog to protect them from their assorted fears. They end up with, Hero (what other name did you expect?) a sprawling, gangly cross between a wolf hound and a Great Dane that doesn't exactly embody the characteristics they hoped for. The twist, as you might expect, is that in seeking to comfort their fearful dog, the various family members learn to deal more effectively with their own odd fears.

The dog comes across as the most-developed character in a somewhat lackluster story that never quite solidifies.
