Davey and Goliath

A young man faces life's ups and downs with his canine companion.

Davey and his family rent a boat to picnic on an island far off shore. Davey's father loses track of the time and when the Hansen family prepares to return home, they discover the tide has run out and their boat is beached far from the water line.

While on a hike, Davey rescues a mountain goat who had a leg broken by a fallen tree limb. When he brings the goat home to recuperate, the wild creature's antics soon have Davey in hot water.

Jealous and envious of his friend Mike, Davey enters a soap box derby.

Disobeying his mother, Davey skates on thin ice and falls through. Thankfully, Goliath is there to rescue him.

Davey is amazed that his father continues to show affection to Barney, Davey's annoying young cousin who has come for a visit.

Feeling rejected, Davey imagines a world without other people, including Goliath. He quickly decides this world is not for him!

After being slothful and lazy, Davey gets a dose of his own medicine; Davey quickly learns that helping others around the house is a way of showing love.

Davey decides he wants to be a champion bowler and Sally wants to be a concert pianist, two very different careers.

Davey finds ten dollars and wants to spend it on a birthday present for Goliath, but whose is it?

Davey's geography lesson on Australia is very amusing at first with its dingos and kookaburras, but he soon tires of it and doesn't study for the test. He resorts to cheating, but that night his conscience begins to bother him.

Davey thoughtlessly pours paint down a well. When he sees how others suffer because of his misdeed, he realizes that everyone is responsible for taking care of God's world.
