The Healing Powers of Dude (2020)

Immerse yourself in the heartwarming world of Netflix's family comedy series, The Healing Powers of Dude. Navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence with 11-year-old Noah Ferris (Jace Chapman), a brave soul grappling with a social anxiety disorder that transforms the most mundane tasks into quicksand-like challenges. After years cocooned in the comfort of homeschooling, Noah musters the courage to step into the uncharted territory of middle school, yearning to form bonds beyond his immediate family. To steady his ship in these unsettling waters, his parents (Tom Everett Scott and Larisa Oleynik) introduce him to an unlikely ally - a lovable, scruffy emotional support dog named Dude (Steve Zahn). Dude is a high-energy novice with a distractingly delightful obsession with treats and a short attention span that rivals a goldfish. Nevertheless, his irresistible charm and unwavering loyalty towards Noah compensate for his lack of experience. In the midst of navigating the maze of middle school, Noah and Dude must find a way to bridge their differences. They face an array of comedic obstacles, from wisecracking pre-teens to a cat-obsessed school principal. Will they survive the school year or crumble under the pressure? Created by the ingenious minds of Sam Littenberg-Weisberg and Erica Spates (Coop and Cami Ask the World), The Healing Powers of Dude is a vibrant tale of resilience, friendship, and the unassailable bond between a boy and his dog. It’s a testament to the transformative power of companionship that transcends species and speaks to the heart. With an undercurrent of humor and a dash of sarcasm courtesy of Dude, this series reminds us that sometimes, the ones who offer us the greatest support are those we least expect.

The Healing Powers of Dude is a children show featuring Jace Chapman and created by Sam Littenberg-Weisberg.
