Directed by Brian Weaver, co-founder and artistic director of Portland Playhouse, this musical comedy barks, bites, and sneaks up on your heart. A fearless cast brings to life a story about the dogs who tumble into our lives and teach us how to love better, even when everything goes sideways. Funny, wild, and unexpectedly tender.
