![]() ![]() I’ve never heard of a therapist treating a parent for 1/2 an hour and a kid for the other 1/2 hour, and it doesn’t seem realistic that Nicky’s mom expects the dog to eat human food because she refuses to buy more than one can of food at a time. Nicky’s mom makes him go to a therapist to deal with his feelings about the divorce, and Nicky refuses to talk to him. Unfortunately, he lies to the new people he meets, pretending to be Reggie’s previous owner’s grandson in order to get information from them, and of course, in the end, he tells too many lies to get away with. Nicky’s obsession leads him to explore his new neighborhood and make some new friends. As Nicky gets attached to Reggie, he becomes obsessed with finding out who his former owner was and why he was given up for adoption. He tries to make her take him back, but his mom is determined to keep him. Then instead of bringing home groceries, she brings home an 80-pound German shepherd named Reggie. She also drinks too much wine and watches too much TV. His mom works all the time now, and never seems to have the energy to make dinner. He had to move with his mom from their really nice house in a suburb outside of Boston to a tiny, run-down apartment in Charlestown. Life has been treating Nicky pretty unfairly lately. ![]()
