Charlie's life is a series of obstacles, and one of them is an uncontrollable urge to barf when his anxiety overwhelms him. Ralph is an unpredictable rescue dog with a lot of energy but very few manners. The two make an unlikely pair but are the best of friends.

When Ralph causes a scene by following his boy to school, it's suggested the two join a dog agility training group. Ralph is a natural—zipping in, around, and over obstacles at lightning speed. Agility training is a fun way for the pair to bond, but when Charlie even considers joining the other handlers at the big contest, his stomach begins to turn.

Can the duo take a leap and cross the finish line?

Good Boy is a delightful story of friendship, overcoming obstacles, and finding courage in unexpected places.
