Spoilers ahead
In 1962, in Rockport, Maine, a seal drowns in a fishing net cast by financially struggling fisherman [Billy Baker]. The moment sparks a heated debate among the local fleet about shooting seals to salvage their troubled season. [Toni Whitney], a seven-year-old girl, and her family decide to adopt the orphaned newborn pup, naming him [Andre The Seal]. The vet is doubtful he’ll survive, but Toni’s unwavering promise—“I’ll be his best friend forever, and I’ll always take care of him”—gives the little creature a fighting chance. Toni’s father, the harbor master [Harry Whitney], constructs an “artificial mother” for the pup from wetsuit material, a bucket, and two feeding bottles, and the stubborn youngster finally takes a bottle, sealing his survival and Toni’s devotion.
