Homecoming

Albert Salmi guest-stars as a stepfather whose newly acquired daughter (Kristie McNichol) refuses to accept him, in "The Homecoming." Clyde Barnes (Salmi) and his wife (E.J. Peaker) try to explain to little Judy that her stepfather's refusal to allow her to adopt a stray German shepherd (Joe) stems from his brother's earlier death caused by a dog. Judy and her new-found canine friend run off, encountering trouble on the way.
