How to Steal a Dog (2014)

A young girl lives in a van with her little brother & her mom. Tired of the embarrassing situation which was promised to be temporary, she decides to try to fix it all on her own. But how to get the money needed first? One day, the girl comes across a flyer offering a reward for a lost dog. Under the mistaken impression that a house could also really cost just that much, she then plots to do exactly that- with the additional help of her best friend, little brother & some others, they’ll find a “missing” spoiled pup, return him & get a new home just in time for her birthday! Or at least, that’s the plan.. what could go wrong?
