Hotel for Dogs

Two resourceful siblings, Andi and Bruce, transform an abandoned hotel into a secret haven for their beloved dog and many other stray canines. They must use their wits to keep their furry friends safe and avoid being discovered by their strict foster parents and the authorities. It's a heartwarming tale about family, responsibility, and the love for animals.
