The Little Airplane That Could
The Little Airplane That Could is a creative adaption of the popular children's classic by Watty Piper, The Little Engine That Could. In this adaption, the story centers on two extraordinary show dogs who were scheduled to give a dog show on the other side of the mountain, reachable only by taking an airplane over the peak. As it happens, the dogs' original flight were cancelled! How will they get to their show?
