My Dog Skip is a 2000 movie, directed by Jay Russell. It is based on the book My Dog Skip by Willie Morris.

The movie recounts a few anecdotes about 10-year-old Willie growing up in Yazoo City, Mississippi. The son of a veteran of the Spanish-American War and a domineering housewife, Willie is the daily victim of three school bullies. Then one day a dog (bought by his mother over his dad's objections) comes into his life, and everything changes. The dog is Willie's entry into a world of new friendships.

Tagline: Every family needs an optimist.
