“Compelling! An adventure drama with an important historical bent”

– Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

This February 14th, the heartfelt story of a dog separated from his Jewish family in 1930s Germany comes to home entertainment as Shepherd: The Story of a Hero Dog hits Digital, Blu-Ray™ and DVD in North America. The historical family drama is written and directed by Lynn Roth and stars August Maturo (Girl Meets World, The Nun), Ayelet Zurer (Man of Steel, Shtisel) and Ken Duken (Inglorious Basterds, Fate: The Winx Saga).

Shepherd: The Story of a Hero Dog is inspired by real events and adapted from the best-selling, critically-acclaimed novel “The Jewish Dog” by Asher Kravitz. The powerful story provides a man’s best friend perspective on the tragic events of World War II Europe.

The timeless, unbreakable bond between a boy and his faithful dog is put to the ultimate test in 1930s Germany. When the Nuremberg Laws are passed forbidding Jews to own pets, Kaleb, a German Shepherd, is separated from his Jewish family and his beloved 10-year-old master, Joshua (August Maturo). Kaleb is alone and on the streets – until he is captured and eventually adopted by an SS dog trainer (Ken Duken) at a Nazi work camp where the dog has now been trained to help round up and terrorize Jewish prisoners.
