LOVE WAS WAITING AT THE SHELTER, NOT ON MATCH.COM

Jennifer has always dreamed of getting married and having children, but after dealing with men who can't commit, she shifts her focus from meeting the man of her dreams to finding her four-legged soulmate.

When Jennifer meets Benny, she knows instantly that he's "the one." He wiggles his way into her heart and takes up permanent residence. Despite his angelic face and calm demeanor, Benny harbors a mischievous side. He steals any food that isn't nailed down, nearly breaks his neck chasing squirrels, and suffers from chronic allergies, separation anxiety, and a Napoleon complex. He also eases Jennifer's "baby fever," becomes the spokesdog of her business, and is her constant companion as they face life-altering changes and challenges. But when Benny faces a life-threatening illness, Jennifer must come to terms with the reality that our time with our fur babies is limited.

Told with loving affection and raw emotion, Mommy's Boy is the true story of two lost souls who find the unconditional love, companionship, and emotional support they need, in the process forging a profound bond as deep as a mother and her child. It's a tender and heartfelt tribute to a special little guy who was more than "just a dog," he was family.
