It's not finishing school or a traditional upbringing that causes ten-year-old
Opal to learn about the world outside of her own backyard, but rather a particularly awkward-looking mutt named
Winn-Dixie. Based on a novel by
Kate DiCamillo,
Winn-Dixie and
Opal not only become privy to the eventful, if eccentric, lives of their neighbors (including a librarian who fought off a bear with nothing but a novel, a blind woman who claims to "see" with her heart, and a sensitive ex-con turned pet store clerk), but
Opal herself manages to reconcile some of the depression left over after her mother had abandoned the family seven years earlier.
