What if you were suddenly transported to another country and
didn’t speak the language—but still had to go to school? That’s
exactly what happens to young Tommy when he moves from
Israel to America. Whenever he tries to speak English, the other
kids tease him. But when a local police officer visits the
classroom with his special dog, Samson, everything changes.
