What’s it about?

Aspiring Los Angeles actress Julie (Kristy McNichol) accidentally runs over a dog with white fur during a nighttime drive in the Hollywood Hills. She takes it to the vet, and after they patch it up she is faced with two choices: adopt it herself until the original owner is found, or take it to the dog pound where it will be put to sleep if it isn’t adopted in three days. Unable to bear the prospect of it being put down, she decides to take it in.
